Roy Keane has declared Liverpool as the 'real winners' after Manchester City and Arsenal played out a dull 0-0 draw
The Reds moved above the Gunners at the top of the Premier League earlier in the day with a 2-1 win over Brighton
Goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah turned the game around after Danny Welbeck had opened the scoring.
Liverpool's place at the top of the table was unmoved following the action in Manchester
City dominated large portions of the contest at the Etihad but Arsenal came the closest from snatching a winner through Gabriel Jesus.
The draw means Liverpool are two points above the Gunners and three above the defending champions.
Keane has labelled Jurgen Klopp's men as the favourites to be crowned champions of England after today's games. "
Keane
"Liverpool are the real winners of today, obviously winning and watching these two teams draw,"
"Liverpool will be delighted. You’re looking at the table now and thinking Liverpool will be favourites for it, but with the amount of quality on the pitch that is why we’re disappointed.
"Arsenal, good team shape or whatever, clean sheet, but when you’re looking at the standards City have set themselves the last seven years - particularly De Bruyne and Foden - when they don’t quite reach that level you’re disappointed.
"We take it for granted that these brilliant players will turn up, they’ve had an off day and will just have to take the point.
"I’m not sure it will be good enough at the end of the season for City."
Keane repeated later in the show that he would put Liverpool as title favourites, with the former Manchester United captain adding: "I think I need a drink."
