The Premier League title race will go down to the final two weeks of the season, with Arsenal currently ahead of Manchester City, though the reigning champions do have a game in hand on the Gunners

Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer both believe Manchester City will be crowned Premier League champions for a fourth successive season.

City are just behind Arsenal in the table, though they do have a game in hand over the Gunners. That will come against Tottenham next Tuesday, with Mikel Arteta's side ironically relying on their bitter rivals to help their title bid.

Arsenal meanwhile will bring their campaign to end with a trip to Manchester United on Sunday, before hosting Everton on the final day. Even if they win those two games, it will not be enough to win the league if Pep Guardiola's side secure three more victories.

That is exactly the scenario Lineker believes will end up happening, with the Match of the Day host unsure Spurs will want to help their rivals. He did admit though that there could be a 'Sergio Aguero moment' on the final day.

"You can't go out and not try. I spoke to a couple of Tottenham fans yesterday and both of them said 'no, we can't help Arsenal to win the league'," Lineker told The Rest Is Football podcast.

"I can never remember any conversation ahead of a match where you go 'not sure I want to win today'. Could be another Aguero moment. I think you might be right [ Manchester City to win all their games], but this is football and you never know."

Shearer agreed that City will end up lifting the title, though insisted Spurs will not roll over next week to prevent Arsenal winning the title. The England legend recalled Blackburn Rovers' title win in 1995 to make his point.

In that season, Blackburn headed to Liverpool on the final day knowing a defeat would allow Manchester United to win the title if they beat West Ham. Though Liverpool are famously bitter rivals of United, Rovers lost 2-1 at Anfield, with Shearer scoring their goal.

But United were unable to defeat the Hammers, allowing Blackburn to win the title by one point. While Shearer believes that any drop in performance from Spurs will see them lose, he insisted they will still be desperate to beat City.

"You're talking about the integrity of players. We had that scenario at Blackburn, when we had to go to Anfield last day of the season, it was either us winning the title or Man United. So you're thinking Liverpool were going to do us a right favour," he added.

"It was such a weird atmopshere because the fans were aware of it, they didn't want Man United to win at West Ham which meant they would have had a chance of winning the title, it was really weird.

"In the end everyone was happy apart from Man United, because Liverpool won, we won the title. But you can't ever question the players' integrity. But if you're that much off it then it does make a difference."
