Manchester United legend Roy Keane has named the two games that cost Arsenal the Premier League title with Manchester City set to become champions again.

“I think when you look at the last five or six weeks, the West Ham and Southampton games stand out for me,” Keane said, in reference to Arsenal’s 2-2 and 3-3 draws with struggling Hammers and Saints.

“I know they lost at Man City and dropped points against Liverpool but that can happen. They’ve won 25 league games which is fantastic but those two games [West Ham and Southampton] knocked them back a little bit. We saw a team today who looked physically and mentally shot.

“I think the bottom line is Arsenal don’t have the strength and depth of Manchester City. They have come up short. It’s as simple as that.

“They will need four or five new players but that’s easier said than done. They need to get the right players with the right character so if they get in this position again, pole position, they will have a chance to see it through.”
