It was quite funny seeing Paul Tierney caught up in the middle, but he certainly couldve have handled it better. All this talk about respecting the ball doesnt seem to be doing them too many favours, and its becoming an unnecessary distraction.Clinton was speaking on behalf of Free Bets, where he works as an EFL betting expert.Article continues below You may like 'Adama Traore needs to lay off the weights' Clinton Morrison's Top Top Column 'Oliver Glasner could learn a lot from Eberechi Eze. He went about his business and got his head down.

But so what if he winds people up? We're in football, we want to see entertainment!' Clinton Morrison's Top Top Column If youre winning games, then who cares? But theyre not at the moment, and their midweek performance against Paris Saint-Germain was really disappointing.They were missing key players particularly Reece James, the captain; I think he makes the team tick. Malo Gusto at right-back was missing too, but they were nowhere near good enough. This team was making basic mistakes, and you cannot afford to do that against a team with PSGs quality.Things are certainly looking much better in north London for Arsenal, and there is increasing talk of a quadruple. Do I think it will happen? No, I don't think it will happen. But I think they've got a great chance in the Premier League and the Champions League. Obviously theyve got a chance to win the Carabao Cup on Sunday, but I think its a more important trophy for Manchester City.As I said about a month ago, the title's already as good as done - I think Arsenal will win the title now. I just can't see City doing it.Get FourFourTwo NewsletterThe best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week.Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.People are saying that because Man City are out of the Champions League, they can concentrate on the league. But Arsenal are doing everything right, and City need snookers at this point. I can't see Arsenal dropping that many points. So, I think Sunday is a big game for Manchester City, and they might just shade it at the weekend.That's why Arsenal won't do the quadruple. But I do think they will win two trophies this year. Thatll be the Premier League and either the Champions League or FA Cup, but I could be wrong of course!I think City will come out all guns blazing. When you saw Pep Guardiola make all those changes in the final half hour against Real Madrid, you knew that they had an eye on Sunday. What to read next 'Spurs are lower than a snake's belly. They should sack Igor Tudor and get Tim Sherwood or Sean Dyche - that would shake things up' Clinton Morrison on looming Tottenham catastrophe in new 'Top Top Column' I dont think Manchester City are good enough to win the Champions League this season winning the Premier League will depend on whether Arsenal do what they do well, and bottle it Former City defender assesses their trophy chances this term 'Carabao Cup Final celebrations will affect title race' Thierry Henry makes bold Arsenal and Manchester City prediction Get VIP Arsenal tickets HERE with Seat Unique!Arsenal's premium Club Level tickets offer superb padded seating and access to the lounge two-and-a-half hours pre-match.

City could still end the season with two trophies - the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup. It's not the two they wouldve wanted, probably, but they're still trophies.Pep still has a year left on his contract, so he isn't going anywhere. I feel they'll build again, strengthen in the summer, and be right back challenging for the biggest honours. I don't think the Club World Cup helped them with all the extra football they've had to play either.It hasn't quite clicked for them, because theyre in a transition period. They've bought new players and it's going to take time for them to adjust to Guardiola's style of play. Looking at Erling Haaland, hes missing the kind of service someone like Kevin De Bruyne used to give him, and the chances he used to create. I just think there are going to be big changes in the summer, but they'll be back, though, for sure.Another huge game the same day sees Tottenham play Nottingham Forest. The mood has been lifted slightly after a good draw away at Liverpool, before beating Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, despite going out of the Champions League. This game is a cup final for Igor Tudors side, and it has a winner-takes-all feel to it.It'll be a fascinating game. If Tottenham win, then I think they will stay up. A draw or a defeat still leaves them looking over their shoulders.Ill finish this week with a bit of a funny story about Glenn Murray. I work with him on BBC 5Live and theres a bit of a running joke now. I think we were preparing to go live one time, and we all heard someone saying: Who on earth is Glenn Murray?We always just take the mick out of him and got these T-shirts printed saying: "Who on earth is Glenn Murray?" I love It, and he does, too. Its good banter and I love winding him up!TOPICSArsenalChelseaClinton MorrisonColumnistClinton Morrison is a former international striker and prominent sports broadcaster best known for his two successful spells at Crystal Palace, where he scored over 100 goals.
