Jack Grealish fires EPL title warning to Arsenal after Man City win vs Liverpool

Manchester City closed the gap to Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table back down to five points following a crucial win against Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium

Mikel Arteta's side are currently in action against Leeds United following City's win in the early kick-off on Saturday afternoon. The reigning champions still have a game in hand on the league leaders and will be hoping Arsenal drop points against Leeds today.

City still have to welcome Arsenal to the Etihad Stadium later this month in what could prove to be a potential title-deciding fixture. Guardiola's side have chased down a team at the top of the table to go on and win the league before, as they surpassed Liverpool's points tally towards the end of the campaign a few seasons ago.

Grealish has now fired a warning to the Gunners as City picked up a crucial three points to put the pressure back on Arsenal ahead of their game against Leeds. The City star said: "Obviously you know they’re [Arsenal] a great team.

"It’s in their hands at the moment so we’re just gonna keep doing everything we can to try and chase them. We’ve just got to keep winning games."

City have a much busier fixture schedule compared to the Gunners due to their Champions League and FA Cup involvement, while Arteta's side only have the Premier League to focus on. Grealish added: "I need to love you and leave you, need to go and get changed and see how many days off we’ve got!"

It's clear Guardiola has got his players focused on winning as many trophies as possible this season, with a treble still achievable this term. Arteta will hope his side can respond and regain their eight-point lead at the top of the table with a win against Leeds.
