Jamie Redknapp believes Arsenal will ‘run away’ with the Premier League title this season and has named Brighton as their nearest challengers.

Arsenal moved six points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win at home to Hull City.

Manchester City then suffered their third straight defeat in the Premier League as they were beaten 3-1 by Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening.

Brighton will overtake City and move into second if they beat Brentford on Sunday and Redknapp admits he is struggling to see a credible threat to Arsenal this season.

‘They [Man City] obviously miss Semenyo, he’s a big player for them in the wide areas but they’ve still got people in wide positions who can cause problems,’ Redknapp told Sky Sports.

‘That one today is a sore one, it gives you the feeling right now in terms of who can challenge Arsenal? I just don’t see one.

‘If you look at the league table, I think right now, probably the one you’d point to, and I never thought I’d say this at the start of the year, but it’s Brighton.
