EPL: Jamie Redknapp Names Brighton as Arsenal's Main Title Rivals

Ex-England international Jamie Redknapp believes Brighton are currently the main side capable of challenging Arsenal in the race for the league title this season, according to Daily Post.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Redknapp suggested that the Gunners might easily pull away at the top. His remarks followed a pivotal round of fixtures that saw Arsenal expand their lead over their rivals.

Arsenal established a six-point cushion at the top of the Premier League table on Saturday after earning a 1-0 victory over Hull. Their advantage grew after Manchester City suffered a 3-1 defeat away at Nottingham Forest.

The loss to Forest was the third straight league defeat for Manchester City. The result leaves the club struggling for form during a crucial period of the campaign.

Following City's stumble, Brighton can move into second place in the standings if they defeat Brentford in their Sunday match.

Addressing City's setback, Redknapp noted that the club clearly missed Semenyo in the wide areas. He added that while City still have talented wide players, no club currently looks equipped to catch Arsenal, making Brighton the unexpected candidate.
