Roy Keane has insisted he thinks Manchester City will win the Premier League - despite lying eight points behind leaders Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola's side are the defending champions and have won four of the last five championships.
City have played one game fewer than the Gunners, meaning they will be just five points behind Mikel Arteta's men if they win that.
With City only having 10 games left this season, and Arsenal nine, Manchester United icon Keane admitted the latter are clear favourites to secure the title.
But speaking on Gary Neville's The Overlap show, the Irish pundit claimed Arsenal will choke and fall to City in the title race - because he is unsure if they can handle the pressure.
He said: 'They (Arsenal) are in a great position, wouldn't have thought that at the start of the season but they've been brilliant, a lot of the young players have been very consistent, they can just focus on the league.
'They're definitely favourites for the title. I don't think they'll do it. I still have to fancy City but Arsenal have got themselves in a great position. You need a little bit of luck, injuries over the last few months, they're in a great position and you have to admire them for that - can't begrudge them.
'I just think City are that brilliant. The games they (Arsenal) have to go and win, these are obviously pressure games and they've not dealt with that over the last few years. Even last year with top four they came up short, that's the question mark that's just hanging over them.
'But again, they've been brilliant, if they did go on and win it you have to give them the plaudits, but this is the crunch time, when you sort the men out from the boys, who can get over the line?'
Arteta and Co face a tricky run-in, with tough-looking games against Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle, as well as a potentially title-defining clash at City's Etihad Stadium on April 26.
However, Arsenal only need to focus on the league after their Europa League elimination, while City are still in both the Champions League and the FA Cup as well.
Next up, the north London outfit travel to Anfield to face the Reds on Sunday.
While City travel to the division's bottom side on Saturday afternoon.

Mr. Roy Keane, we know that the eight points can easily disappear but we won't let it go like that because this is our time to win the league and also go to the champions League. Our aim for this season was to go to the champions League next season but God being so so good, we are on top, doesn't it surprise you because even Pep himself is very surprised because no one knew that my arsenal will be on top of the league this season but we the fans knew it. Mr. Roy Keane, please let see how the league will end and who is going to take the league. Am Nathaniel Quiacoo Junior from Ghana and am a footballer( a winger who play both legs and can play 5 different positions apart from wings and can even keep as well. I am 12 years old with a very good height and due to that, am youth team use me as center forward and sometimes a defender or midfielder (CDM).). All my dream is to play for Arsenal in the near future and I always wish good for my team 'Arsenal'. in this world we have two things, 'suffer to get and none suffer to get ' that is why for about ten years now, Arsenal had suffered but I assure you that, this is our year and we will celebrate it live and coloured. we will invite you to our celebration My Roy Keane
