"Hot on their heels" - Sergio Aguero makes Premier League title race claim involving Manchester City and Arsenal

Sergio Aguero has opened up on the Premier League title race between his former club Manchester City and Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta's side have enjoyed a sensational season thus far and currently lead City by eight points although the Cityzens have a game in hand. While speaking about the exciting title race so far, Aguero has hailed Arsenal for their excellent showings on a consistent basis this season.

The former Argentina international also credited Arteta for the job he has done at the Emirates so far. He said, as quoted by the official Man City website:

“I watch every City game I possibly can, usually most of them. When I can't see them live, I try to catch the highlights. This is proving to be quite a title race. Arsenal are very consistent – I know Mikel Arteta and I respect his expertise. He knows how to make his team perform, and to better utilize the young, hungry players in his squad."

Aguero also heaped praise on Manchester City for keeping the pressure on league leaders Arsenal. He added:

“We are keeping up the pace, though and are hot on their heels."

"But we also know, from tried and tested experience, that it isn't over until it's over. One thing is certain, City will fight until the end. It's in our DNA. I hope we can overtake them and win another title.”

Aguero is a bonafide Manchester City legend who won five Premier League titles during his time at the Etihad. The former Atletico Madrid attacker is the highest goalscorer in the club's history with 260 goals in 390 games.
