Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane have all backed Manchester City to triumph in the Premier League this season.
Sunday's clash at the Emirates between Arsenal and Liverpool marked an opportunity for Jurgen Klopp's side to extend their lead at the top of the table to eight points.
The Reds were unable to seize the title initiative in North London however, and Arsenal ran out 3-1 winners to close the gap between the two sides to just two points.
