We&#8217;ve seen this before with City, where they go on a run during the second half of the season and win 10 or 12 games on the bounce and go away from other teams. Maybe, this season, Arsenal will be stronger from their experience in those moments and we know Liverpool have been there before.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Carragher went on to say he&#8217;s happy to see the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool challenge Man City as it makes the title race more exciting for the fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He said:\u00a0&#8216;I know you [Micah Richards] don&#8217;t want to hear this but, for neutrals, it&#8217;s good to see City drop points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You think of them winning the treble last season and you&#8217;re thinking, &#8216;who is ever going to stop them?&#8217; You feel like you&#8217;ve got a title race now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You saw where Arsenal were last season and City still pegged them back. It feels like it could go to the last months of the season because of the situation City find themselves in.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Keane went on to speak about\u00a0the current situation at Tottenham, Keane saying: &#8216;They need to get some of their better players back [from injury].<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;They&#8217;ve had a decent start to the season, there&#8217;s been a sticky patch over the last few weeks, but they&#8217;ve played some decent stuff. Get one or two [players] in during January as well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Could they be competing for the top four? It&#8217;s a big ask, but I&#8217;m impressed with the manager. His personality is helping with the club at the moment. His laid back approach is helping the players.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Top four might be a bit of a stretch, but there&#8217;s big improvements at Spurs over the last few months.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/03\/22\/78532399-12821035-image-a-99_1701641388539.jpg\" height=\"357\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jamie Carragher (above) agreed with Keane, saying Arsenal will be a stronger and more challenging competitor following the 2022-2023 campaign<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12821035\/Roy-Keane-believes-Man-City-WONT-win-Premier-League-dropped-points-draw-Spurs-backs-one-challengers-beat-title.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roy Keane believes Man City WON&#8217;T win the Premier League after they dropped more points in draw with Spurs&#8230;
