Former Chelsea striker, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has predicted that Manchester City will leapfrog league leaders, Arsenal to win the English Premier League (EPL) title for the 5th time in six seasons.
The former Holland international, who still does not believe that Arsenal can win the league despite staying on top for months, says the champions will come from behind to lift the trophy.

Arsenal sit top of the Premier League, standing five points ahead of champions, Manchester City with a game in hand and with 19 games still to play.
Speaking to SafeBettingSites, Hasselbaink said, “Arsènal are doing so well and they keep on surprising me.
“They’re doing great and playing really good football but I do think they’re going to have a bad time of maybe two or three losses and then we’ll see how they react.
“My favourites are still Manchester City but I’m getting closer and closer to saying that perhaps it is going to be Arsènal’s year.”
