Manchester City are likely to beat Arsenal in Sunday's huge Premier League clash, but the title is Liverpool's, Peter Crouch believes.
The 43-year-old former Anfield striker thought the Gunners were out of the picture at one stage, but can't wait to see how the three-horse race plays out.

Crouch never got his hands on a league title in his three years at Liverpool, however, he's backing Jurgen Klopp's side to win a second Premier League crown.
"I said Liverpool at the start of the season, and many people will say there is a bias there, and probably slightly right," Crouch told talkSPORT's Hawksbee and Jacobs.
"Arsenal have kind of played their way back into the conversation; obviously, Manchester City will be favourites considering their previous history.
"You would say it is a two-horse race, but Arsenal have put themselves back into the mix.
"I just think the amount of games they have played where they have won so convincingly and they get the injuries back, it is definitely a three-horse race.
"But I am going to stick with Liverpool; I still think they can do it."
Arsenal are currently top of the table on goal difference, level on 64 points with second-placed Liverpool.
Man City are just behind by a point and will be looking to overtake the Gunners, who they face at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Manchester United stakeholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe gives hilarious blunt four-word verdict on the Premier League title race
A lot will depend on injuries on Sunday, with Bukayo Saka, Kyle Walker, John Stones and Gabriel Martinelli all trying to get back to full fitness for what has been labelled a potential title decider.
Stones and Walker injured themselves while with the England squad, while Manuel Akanji picked up a knock with Switzerland. City fans must wait to see if Ederson has recovered from a muscle injury.
For Arsenal, Saka withdrew from the England squad as a precaution, Gabriel pulled out of Brazil's and Martinelli missed out on selection with a foot injury.
Liverpool, meanwhile, take on Brighton at Anfield in the early Sunday clash as they look to return to winning ways after their 4-3 defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup.
The Reds will certainly be hoping both sides play out a draw and they beat the Seagulls, which would see them go two points clear at the top of the table.
