Premier League is in Arsenal's hands — Jack Grealish

Jack Grealish had a man-of-the-match performance as Manchester City beat rivals Liverpool to cut the gap to Arsenal; however, the former Aston Villa man believes the Premier League is still Arsenal's to lose.  

Pep Guardiola's side were ruthlessly dominant against the Reds, winning 4-1 at the Etihad, as they temporarily reduced the deficit on first-place Arsenal to five points. 

The visitors dealt the first blow, as Mohammed Salah completed a devastating counterattack to give Jurgen Klopp's side a 17th-minute lead. 

City found an equaliser 10 minutes later when Julian Alvarez tapped in from close range. The hosts grabbed the lead right after the break, with Kevin de Bruyne getting on the end of a Riyad Mahrez cross in the 46th minute, before Gundogan put it further away from Liverpool's reach with a 53rd-minute strike.  

Jack Grealish put the icing on the proverbial cake with around 15 minutes to go, closing off the scoring as City ran riot to a 4-1 victory. 

Arsenal are a shoo-in to prevent Manchester City from defending their title, as they have a relatively comfortable lead at the top of the Premier League table. 

The Cityzens needed to beat Liverpool to keep their chances alive, and despite accomplishing the task, Man City record-signing, Grealish, still believes it's Arsenal's title to lose.  

He believes Arsenal have been brilliant, and his team have to continue winning games to chase them down. 

"Arsenal are a great team; it's in their hands, so we've just got to keep doing what we can to chase them down,” Grealish said, per the BBC.

Manchester City will face Southampton next at St. Mary's Stadium, while Arsenal travel to Anfield for their turn to go against Liverpool.
