Trent Alexander-Arnold described the destination of the Premier League title as “obvious” as he backed Manchester City to win all of their remaining games and come out on top.
Arsenal had surprisingly led the charge and were bookmakers’ favourites in January - yielding an eight-point lead over Pep Guardiola and Co. But recent stutters have allowed City to smell blood - and take full advantage by storming into first place.
A dominant 4-1 victory over Arsenal at the Etihad last week tipped the balance, with most now expecting Guardiola to finish the job. Liverpool star Alexander-Arnold knows just how relentless City can be, having gone toe-to-toe for many major honours in recent years.

In 2019, an unwavering City side won their final 14 games to finish on 98 points - making the Reds agonisingly miss out on glory. Until then, no English club had ever amassed 97 points and not been crowned champions.
Alexander-Arnold recognises Man City’s “juggernaut” ability to put their foot down as the run-in approaches - insisting Arsenal’s title charge was “game over” as soon as the lead began to tumble.
“The league is obvious now and I’ve said it for a while,” he told Red Bull. “If City are even anywhere close, if they smell blood at Christmas, New Year - it’s game over really.
“There's no stopping them once they start winning and, now at this point, I'd be surprised if they drew a game. I think it's got to be a mindset because they don't even go behind in games at this point.
“There's no messing around, there's no scares, there’s no ups and downs. Arsenal were exciting because, they were dropping points, but in an exciting way. Whereas City, I don’t even know how to describe it - they are like juggernauts.”
