Former England player Paul Merson has suggested that Pep Guardiola could depart from Manchester City if Arsenal manages to win the Premier League title this season.

As we approach this weekend's matches, Mikel Arteta's team holds the top position, sitting two points ahead of City, who are in second place.

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

He stated on Sky Sports: “I believe they [Arsenal] will win the league. There are still 22 games remaining.

“If there were only six games left and I was here with a two-point gap, I would say Manchester City!”

“I think if they fail to win it this season, Guardiola will realize that it might be an Arsenal league to dominate for some time, and I believe he will leave while he is still ahead.”
