Arsenal have been warned that Manchester City are creeping up on them in the Premier League title race - and a win against Liverpool would change everything. The Gunners currently boast a six-point advantage over City after 10 games . Mikel Arteta's team can also extend that gap to nine on Saturday by beating Sunderland . The following day, City welcome reigning champions Liverpool in a mouth-watering encounter. Sunday's result could have huge ramifications on the Premier League title race and Owen Hargreaves reckons that if Pep Guardiola's men beat Liverpool, it's 'game on'. Speaking after City's rousing 4-1 victory at home to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League , former midfielder Hargreaves told TNT Sports : "I think they're slowly building. "Doing well in the Champions League, second in the Premier League, obviously got a big game at Anfield on Sunday. If they win that then it's game on for everything. "I think as great as Arsenal are, they haven't done it, they haven't won it yet, and they're getting there, they're going to win it eventually. But the last team you want chasing you is these guys; they've been there and done it for such a long time, the players and the manager. "But I think they've put themselves in a great position, Arsenal, but this City team are going to chip away quietly. And if they can get Rodri back into the mix with this team, with what they have, then it will be a fascinating title race." Hargreaves added: "I think he (Guardiola) knows his team is getting back to its best. I think it helps having [Gianluigi] Donnarumma in goal and [Erling] Haaland at the top of the pitch, but it just feels like they've got these brilliant little players - [Rayan] Cherki coming on and scoring a fabulous goal. "Him and [Phil] Foden are going to be some fun supporting Haaland. I think he's (Guardiola) got a great squad again this season. I think last year all the injuries, Rodri, and then the confidence went down all of a sudden." What score will Liverpool vs Manchester City finish? Give us your prediction in the comments section . For Arsenal, it's all about focusing on their tricky task at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland are unbeaten at home so far and have been this season's surprise package. The Gunners, though, are a formidable run of 10 wins in a row, having beaten Slavia Prague 3-0 on Wednesday. They're also looking to break a club record by keeping a ninth successive clean sheet.
