Manchester City legend backs old club to win huge title clash

Manchester City's all-time record goal-scorer is backing his former side to come out on top when they host title rivals Arsenal on Sunday. 

Sergio Aguero scored 260 goals in a decade-long stint in Manchester, where he won five Premier League titles and was responsible for one of the Premier League's greatest moments with his title-clinching goal in 2012. 

Speaking about the current City side, Aguero told Stake  that he believes Sunday's clash at the top of the table will be tricky for his old club, but he is tipping them for the win. 

"I'm ranking it one of the top encounters of the season, no doubt," he said. 

"That being said, this year we have not two but three contenders for the title, and they all have challenging fixtures. I'm confident in City's victory but it won't be a decisive match – other games will also tilt the scales." 

Manchester City are a point behind both the Gunners and Liverpool at the of the Premier League, and with the club still in both the FA Cup and Champions League, they could be on course for back-to-back trebles. Something Aguero says would be incredible. 

Adding: "Look, winning the Treble is something you really need to relish when it happens because it's insanely difficult to pull off. If you can, you'll leave your mark in history, and making history feels amazing... and it’s no easy task.

"The Premier League, the Champions League and the FA Cup are top-tier competitions, and you'd need to play perfectly to win all those tournaments in a single season. The most important thing is to be among the contenders for those titles. If you take them home, the better."
