Will both teams end the season with a perfect record? Or will one of them drop points, and against whom?
Adebayor: I’m not sure on Arsenal
“This Arsenal team is very young and talented, but if you ask me now if I am sure they are going to get nine [points] out of nine, then I am not sure, because anything can happen,” says Emmanuel Adebayor, the former Arsenal, Man City and Spurs striker.
“We saw a couple weeks ago, against Aston Villa, we all thought they would win that game, they ended up losing 0-2 at home which made it difficult.
“But when it comes to Man City, if you ask me if I think they can win their next 20 games, I would tell you with confidence, yes, because how they approach the game, they have some experienced players.”
On if Spurs are the team most likely to take points off Man City, Adebayor said: “If Spurs play like [they did v Arsenal] against Man City, with the big man [Erling Haaland] coming back full of confidence, scoring, looking sharp, looking fit, then it will be very, very difficult for them.”
Sherwood: Arsenal will win out, it won’t be enough
“I think Arsenal will win their last three [matches], but I don’t think it will be enough,” says Tim Sherwood, who won a title with Blackburn Rovers in 1994/95 before going on to manage Spurs and Aston Villa.
“I just think Man City will win their last four. I know Tottenham’s not a good ground for Man City, but the way Tottenham played today [in the 3-2 defeat to Arsenal], if they leave the same spaces for Man City, they are going to get exploited.”
Wright: Bournemouth Arsenal’s biggest challenge
“[The Spurs result] would have been relief more than anything because they know they can’t afford to lose any games,” says Arsenal legend and 1997/98 Premier League champion, Ian Wright.
“You look at City and it looks like City can will all of theirs [fixtures], I’ll probably go with Tim and say we can will all of them.
“Bournemouth will be the toughest one. We’ve seen how open Man Utd are, we might be able to go there and be disciplined and beat them. Everton are safe.
“You think Bournemouth will be the one, but again you look at Man City’s games and I don’t know who is going to stop them.”
Neville: Old Trafford can be Arsenal’s graveyard
“You never know what is going to happen at Old Trafford. It can be a graveyard for teams,” eight-time Premier League winner Gary Neville told the Gary Neville Podcast.
“Even with the way Manchester United are at the moment, you have to regard that as a massive match.
“Teams have won at Old Trafford that have been in the bottom half of the table, but teams in the top half of the table have gone there and struggled.
“Liverpool famously in the last month or two have lost an FA Cup quarter-final there and they drew in the league and that was probably the start of Liverpool’s downfall. You can never underestimate a game at Old Trafford.
“I think they [Arsenal] will achieve a 100 per cent record. The one doubt is the Old Trafford game. It will all depend for me on how City do in the next week or two as well.”
