Arsenal legend Martin Keown has revealed why he thinks his former side will come up short in the title race. It is looking to be a two-horse race in the fight to win the Premier League, with Chelsea dropping away in recent weeks and Liverpool now eight points clear ahead of Nottingham Forest in second.

Forest could compete, but are expected to drop off, with Arsenal looking to go second when they take on Brentford on Wednesday night. A win would put them six points behind Liverpool having played a game more, and they are expected to be the main challengers for Arne Slot's men, who have so far been rampant in the top flight.

Winning the league would mark a first Premier League title win since 2004 for Mikel Arteta's side, a team which contained Mail Sport's Keown and would win the league as the only unbeaten side ever to do so. But the man himself, however, is of the opinion that his ex-side will come up short. And speaking on TNT Sports before Arsenal's clash with Brentford, he explained why.
