Manchester City are no longer favourites to win the Premier League title for the first time this season after a goalless draw with Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola's side couldn't find a breakthrough against the Gunners at the Etihad Stadium. As a result of the draw, City find themselves three points behind Jurgen Klopp's side in the table after they came from behind to beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 at Anfield.
