Arsenal second favourites with their goal difference. City with their injuries and the strain of everything - Champions League coming up, same as Arsenal - [third favourites].<br>Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player<br><br>"Every time I watch Liverpool, we can look at one or two faults they might have, but they get so many chances every game, they're going to score lots of goals.<br>"I've said Man City [previously] but what I've seen recently, I'm going to go with Liverpool."<br>Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player<br><br>Keane's fellow Sky Sports pundit and former Man Utd team-mate Gary Neville is standing by his prediction Arsenal will come through and take the title but believes Liverpool have a chance to build up real momentum if they can beat Sheffield United and then United at Old Trafford in the coming week.<br> Live Premier League table <br> Get Sky Sports <br> Stream Sky Sports on NOW <br> Download the Sky Sports App <br>"We knew before the international break who was in form," he said. "Arsenal were in the best form. Liverpool were hanging on a little bit towards the end. Arsenal's performance levels were really high. What happens in the next week is critical because you're going to need good form going into that run-in.<br>"I said Arsenal at the start of the season and I'm not going to shift now because I think all the teams are still in it.<br>Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player<br><br>"But if Liverpool win at Old Trafford they'll be in great shape mentally because you win a big game like that it has a massive impact on you. But it's still a long way to go beyond that."<br>He also said it would be foolish to rule out defending champions Man City, even though they have the most ground to make up.<br>"I genuinely think Man City could win all nine games," he said. "That would be enough I think."<br>Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player<br><br>However, ex-Arsenal winger Theo Walcott believes his former club may have shown a template of how to frustrate Pep Guardiola's side.<br>"Arsenal showed today they can really grind results out, but I think a lot of teams will take a lot from Arsenal's performance and it might affect how Man City play and get results now," he said. "I can't see City winning all the games."<br>Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player<br><br><strong>Gary Neville</strong> felt Arsenal answered questions about their mentality and their defensive resilience as they held champions Manchester City to a goalless draw in a tight game at the Etihad Stadium.<br>"I think they answered two big questions today," Neville said on <em>Sky Sports</em>. "One is on their mentality. Could they live in a big game against Manchester City?<br>"They folded here last year and they were all over the place, whereas today they withstood a lot of pressure and looked like a team that could go through a title challenge and have a lot more mental strength.<br>"That's a big question answered, because it's difficult to come here.<br>"The other one is on the defensive side of things. Last year, it was suggested that without (William) Saliba they were harmed, and that's been proven today.<br>"Saliba was immense, there's no doubt about that. So was Gabriel.<br>"But for me, the work ethic of the two wide players and the two forwards was also incredible."<br>The Super 6 Rollover hits a whopping £1,000,000!
