Arsenal can sit back and watch Manchester City and Liverpool battle it out after they beat Sunderland 3-0.
The Gunners have extended their lead over Pep Guardiola’s side to nine points at the top of the Premier League table.
A loss at Anfield for City could all but end the title race, which is why you would imagine that the Arsenal players will all be rooting for Liverpool to get the job done.
Viktor Gyokeres, however, only has one thing on his mind.

Viktor Gyokeres’ perfect response when asked who he will support – Liverpool or Manchester City
Mikel Arteta and many of his players will have their televisions on when Liverpool host Manchester City on Sunday.
The Gunners should only be worrying about themselves and shouldn’t get complacent, but they will all know that a City defeat would give them a massive advantage.
Gyokeres, who was one of Arsenal’s stars against Sunderland after scoring twice on Saturday, was also quizzed about his thoughts on the game.
In an interview with Jan Aage Fjortoft on Viaplay Fotball, the Swede was asked who he would support out of Liverpool and Manchester City during the clash at Anfield.
Arsenal supporters will love Gyokeres’ response.
He simply said, “I’m an Arsenal fan tomorrow,” with a grin on his face.

Paul Merson describes Arsenal’s title chances if Manchester City lose to Liverpool
The consensus in football right now is that Arsenal will win the Premier League title.
A nine-point gap feels too much for Manchester City to overcome, but they do have the opportunity to bring it down to six points.
Merson believes it will be all over if Guardiola’s men don’t do that at Anfield on Sunday.
He said on Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday: “Eight or nine (point gap) – a draw or a defeat (for City) – and I think it will be completely and utterly over.
“If Manchester City go and win at Liverpool, that would be a statement, and Arsenal will be like ‘whoa!’. But anything but a Manchester City win, and it will be surely, surely over for me.”
