The Cityzens played out a frustrating 0-0 draw against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium earlier today. As a result, they are now three points behind Liverpool , who are the new league leaders.

When asked about City's title chances after the game, Silva said that the club are no longer favourites and the matter is no longer in their hands and depends on the results of Arsenal and Liverpool .

He said: "[Manchester City] are no longer the favourites to win the title after this match. We have to be realistic. A lot can happen, but the matter is no longer in our hands. It depends on Arsenal and Liverpool ."

Manchester City will be back in Premier League action on Wednesday night against high-flying Aston Villa at home. The failure to beat the Villans could put their title pursuit in real jeopardy.
