Former Man City and Arsenal player Gael Clichy has made his Premier League allegiances clear

Former Arsenal and Manchester City player, Gael Clichy, has made it clear that he's cheering for Manchester City in this season's Premier League title race. Now an assistant coach to Thierry Henry with France under-21s, Clichy also worked as a pundit on Amazon Prime Video during City's 3-1 win over Everton.

Clichy, who played for City from 2011 to 2017 and helped them win two league titles, was invited by the broadcaster because of his connection with the club. His fondness for his old team was evident in his commentary, often referring to them as 'we'.

I really hope I am right, and I really hope the second game can be won to get closer to Liverpool."
