Former Togo striker, Emmanuel Adebayor, has insisted that Manchester City will beat Arsenal to the Premier League title this season.
Adebayor was speaking to Premier League Productions after the Gunners smashed Tottenham 4-1 on Sunday.
The win saw Mikel Arteta’s men extend their lead over City to five points again.
Pep Guardiola’s men have however played one game less than the Gunners and Adebayor feels it will count to their advantage.
He said: “I have looked at the next fixtures for both Arsenal and City. I think City will win the league.
“I am going to rely more on City’s experience. Guardiola has won it and he has players that has won it.
“He has also added new players to his squad.
“Arsenal have showed personality today, but they can they do it for the remaining 10 games? I doubt.”

Nigeria National League, NNL, side Heartland FC has been ordered by the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Players’ Status and Arbitration Committee to pay coach Charles Uzor N6.4 million for the unlawful termination of his contract.
Uzor signed a two‑year deal on 1st August 2024 at N700,000 per month.
His contract was terminated on 11th June 2025 without just cause or proper procedure.
Uzor had claimed N8.4 million for the remaining term. After reviewing the submissions of both parties, the Committee ruled that Heartland FC must pay N6.4 million as compensation to the coach within 45 days of receiving the decision.
The NFF warned that non‑compliance would trigger a transfer and registration ban.
The ruling reinforces the NFF’s stance on contractual integrity in Nigerian football.
