David Seaman has tipped his former Arsenal side to defy the expectations of 'many' and get a result at Manchester City in less than two weeks' time.
The Gunners make the trip to the Etihad Stadium on April 26 in what numerous people are dubbing as a potential title decider. Mikel Arteta's side are currently six points clear of City, but have played a game more and also possess an inferior goal difference.
Despite Arsenal clearly holding the upper hand at this stage with seven wins and a draw in their last eight matches, City remain favourites to lift the trophy next month with the bookmakers. Pep Guardiola's side have won four of the previous five Premier League titles, fending off some incredible challenges from Liverpool along the way.

But any kind of result for Arsenal in their visit to Manchester later this month would represent a huge step towards defying the odds and becoming champions for the first time since 2004. Speaking to talkSPORT, Seaman is backing his former team to do exactly that, stating Arsenal have a 'great chance' of winning the match despite many predicting otherwise.
Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: “Many people are expecting Man City to beat Arsenal at the Etihad, and I don’t agree with that – I think there might be a little surprise in that game.
“I’m looking forward to it. With the way Arsenal are playing at the moment, we’ve got a great chance.”
