Arsenal have "flipped the pressure" on to Man City in the Premier League title race after a 3-0 thumping of Fulham extended their lead to six points at the top of the table, says Jamie Redknapp.
City went top with a win over Arsenal last month but the Gunners have won back-to-back games since then, making it essential Pep Guardiola's side respond with their next two Premier League fixtures, starting with Everton away on Monday Night Football.
"This Man City team can blow teams away, but what Arsenal have done is flipped the pressure. Anything can still happen, but I think Arsenal are favourites," said the Your Site pundit.
Arsenal's three goals on Saturday also extended their goal difference advantage over City to four goals. They have scored 67 goals to City's 66.
Redknapp believes Arsenal's remaining Premier League games - against West Ham, Burnley and Crystal Palace - present an opportunity to further strengthen their position in that differentiator.
City have Everton, Brentford, Palace, Bournemouth and Aston Villa still to play.
"For Man City, the Bournemouth fixture is going to be Andoni Iraola's last home game so there's going to be a celebration there and Bournemouth will want to put on a bit of a show," said Redknapp.
"Everton away against a David Moyes side is always going to be difficult, and Brentford are going for Europe.
"If it goes to goal difference, I look at the games Arsenal have got as a big advantage. There's a game that really shouts at me and it's Burnley at home.
"If we work on the basis that both teams are perfect and win their remaining games, if Arsenal can't beat Burnley 3-0 or 4-0 and get their goal difference up... That's a big opportunity."
For former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson, if the Gunners can win their final three Premier League fixtures, it may be too much for City to overhaul, with a goal-difference margin to make up.
"If Arsenal win their next three Premier League matches, Man City will have to pull up trees," he said.
"With the FA Cup final [against Chelsea on May 16], they will always be playing catch up between now and the end of the season - unless they win big against Everton and Brentford, and they can swing it around where Arsenal are playing catch-up and the goal difference becomes a lot.
"Otherwise, they're always going to be chasing their tail and it takes its toll in the end - knowing you've just got to win this game just to stay on the tails.
"The easiest game they've got to come is against Aston Villa. They will already be in the top five, that's cemented. They could have played in the Europa League final on the Wednesday before.
"That could be their goal difference game."
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was delighted with his side's performance against Fulham, particularly in the first half.
Asked if the win over Fulham sent a manager to Man City, he said no - it sent a message to his own squad.
"It says to us and our dressing room that we keep the dream alive," he said in his press conference.
Speaking to Your Site after the game he said:
"It was a great team performance from the beginning. There were some great individual performances as well, which is very important.
"We started in the game like we wanted. Very aggressive and lively. Great combinations, attacking combinations, rally intense in the high press.
"We got the crowd going and when this stadium creates that kind of atmosphere, it can be difficult for the opponent.
"It was the type of game we expected, we had more players available today as we have been missing some players as it was true we lost some players before the game.
"it was a really good balance in terms of the qualities. The boys delivered a great performance.
"We showed a lot of authority, determination and composure. We brought a lot of energy to the stadium and they responded in a brilliant way and that was a big win."
