Arsenal's clash with Manchester City on Wednesday has the potential to be a title decider, claims Paul Merson.
City can get level on points with Arsenal if they beat Aston Villa today and then Mikel Arteta's men.
Two-time league winner Merson said: "It's a hard game coming up now. A big game Wednesday night. If you want to win Premier League titles, any league title, it's how you bounce back.
"I think it's make or break. If Man City go and win the game, I don't see Arsenal coming back from that.
"After today's [vs Brentford] performance, I don't see them beating Man City on Wednesday.
"I'd be quite shocked. They were so open at the back. Played 2v2 at the back. If Brentford had picked the right pass at times they'd have got in and won that game.
"Ivan Toney misses a real good chance where he hits the bar and Man City have a better quality of player to pick that right pass.
"Come Wednesday night I'd be quite shocked if Arsenal went and won that game."
