Manchester City suffered defeat to title rivals Arsenal meaning they have lost all three domestic fixtures while Rodri served a three-match suspension
Roy Keane has backed Manchester City to still win the Premier League despite losing to title rivals Arsenal - but thinks they would struggle to lift the trophy without Rodri in midfield for a prolonged period.
Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Keane has insisted City are still favourites to win the Premier League title. He said: “I think it was probably the worst I have seen City play. They are having a difficult spell. It was a poor game. Guardiola fielded Rico Lewis in the engine room as the champions were edged out 1-0 by Arsenal at the weekend. However, Rodri’s ban has now been served, meaning he is available for the home clash against Brighton after the international break.
