Jamie Redknapp has hailed the three-way battle between Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City as the Premier League‘s ‘best title race’.
The Sky Sports pundit made the claim ahead of another crucial day in the run in with Liverpool hosting Crystal Palace and Arsenal welcoming Aston Villa.
Both title chasers will be seeking to respond after Manchester City went top of the Premier League with a 5-1 win over Luton on Saturday.
The reigning champions moved two points clear of both Arsenal and Liverpool, but will be overtaken if their rivals win their game in hand.
Redknapp believes the title race will go to the final weekend of the season and suggested goal difference could ultimately be the deciding factor.

‘I have a feeling it might go down to goal difference.
”All three teams are at home on the last day of the season.
