Gabriel Agbonlahor, an Aston Villa legend, believes Arsenal will be embarrassed by Manchester City in their title decider on Wednesday.
He predicted that the Gunners would be beaten by the Citizens by ‘three or four goals’ following their ’embarrassing’ performance in their 3-3 draw with Southampton.

Arsenal, according to Agbonlahor, have effectively lost the Premier League title race.
Arsenal’s title lead has slipped after draws with Liverpool, West Ham United, and, most recently, Southampton.
They lead Manchester City by five points, but the defending champions have two games in hand before the Etihad clash on Wednesday.
With William Saliba injured, Agbonlahor believes Arsenal lacks the defenders to thwart Manchester City’s attack.
“First and foremost, the huddle was embarrassing,” Agbonlahor told talkSPORT.
“Zinchenko, focus on your game. You miss your man on the set piece for the third goal and concede.
“To begin with, it was embarrassing.
“Rob Holding is a Championship defender in my opinion.” Not good enough to be the third choice on a championship-bound team.
“Since Saliba’s injury, they’ve given up nine goals in five games – three draws in a row, which isn’t championship form.”
“I believe Man City will put three or four past this Arsenal team on Wednesday.”
“He’ll put Mahrez or Bernardo Silva on Zinchenko – Haaland will be in the locker room right now saying, ‘guys, I can’t wait to play against Holding and Gabriel,'” says the coach.
