Noel Gallagher has predicted who will win the Premier League this season and snubbed his beloved Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola’s side are attempting to become the first team in Premier League history to win four successive league titles after clinching a historic treble last season.
City are third in the table with seven games to go, one point behind joint-leaders Arsenal and Liverpool.
The Gunners rivalled Man City for the title last season and have mounted another challenge under Guardiola’s former assistant at the Etihad Stadium, Mikel Arteta.
Liverpool, meanwhile, broke City’s Premier League dominance by winning the title in 2020 and are bidding for a similar feat in Jurgen Klopp’s final season at Anfield.
Manchester City fan and Oasis legend Gallagher is desperate for the Premier League trophy to remain at the Etihad but expects Arsenal to end their 20-year wait for a title triumph.
Asked if Man City are capable of winning back-to-back trebles, Gallagher told talkSPORT: ‘No, no, no, we’re conceding too many chances.

‘I look at Arsenal and I think they’re barely conceding a corner let alone goals, let alone dropping points. As you know yourself, the best defence ordinarily wins the league and they’re just not giving anything up.
‘Obviously I want City to win it. If I was a betting man, I’ve got a sneaky suspicion that the table is going to end the way it is now and I think Arsenal nick it on goal difference.
‘That’s the way I see it because we’re waiting now for the two of them to drop points and I look at Arsenal and every week you’re thinking, “Well this is the time when they implode.” I’m looking at it and thinking, “They’re just rock solid.”

‘So, you never know but the treble, forget that, we’re not going to do that but we’ll take one or the other, the league or the Champions League.
‘But we’re there, at the start of the season I was thinking, ‘God if we get in the top four it’d be great after winning the treble and all that.’ We’re there and if any team is going to do it, we’re going to do it.’
As well as bidding to make Premier League history, Manchester City also have aspirations of retaining the Champions League. They drew 3-3 with Real Madrid in a thrilling first leg of their quarter-final tie at the Bernabeu.
