Shearer: Arsenal holds slight Premier League title edge

Ex-England striker Alan Shearer insists Arsenal retains a slight advantage in the Premier League title race despite Manchester City's 2-1 win over Newcastle. City now trail by 2 points, but Shearer believes Mikel Arteta's men could extend their lead to 5 points by beating Tottenham in Sunday's North London Derby. "They've been in this position before," Shearer told Premier League Productions. "They have plenty of good players and know exactly how to win. I still believe Arsenal might just have a slight advantage." The outcome of the derby could determine which team holds the advantage at the top of the table.
