AFCON 2025: Alebiosu back in Super Eagles training 

Former England player Paul Merson has claimed that Pep Guardiola could leave Manchester City if Arsenal end up winning the Premier League title this season.

Going into this weekend’s fixtures, Mikel Arteta’s side maintain top spot, sitting two points clear of City in second place.

Merson is confident that his former club will end their 22-year wait for the trophy.

He told Sky Sports: “I think they [Arsenal] win the league. There are 22 games to go.

“If there were six games to go and I was sitting here and it was two points, then I’d say Man City!

“And I think if they don’t win it this season, I think he (Guardiola) will know that it will probably be an Arsenal league to dominate for a while, and I think he’ll get out while he’s still ahead.”
