EPL: Micah Richards names Arsenal’s biggest title rivals
SKAiF NewsNG SNN
Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards has named Enzo Maresca’s side as Arsenal’s biggest rivals for the Premier League title this season.
Manchester City finished second last season behind champions Arsenal.
The Cityzens currently sit top of the Premier League table after three matches, ahead of the Gunners.
Richards believes Man City have an advantage over Chelsea because of their defensive organisation and experience playing together as a unit.
“I would go with Man City purely because they are probably better defensively,” Richards said on The Rest Is Football podcast, as quoted by Metro.
“They’ve worked together as a unit more than Chelsea.
“Chelsea might be more entertaining, but they are giving away a lot of goals and chances. If they really want to be title challengers, they need to improve on defensive actions.”
