Two’s company for Kompany in title race

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany believes the Premier League title race is destined to "get messy" with Arsenal joining the champions and Chelsea in a three-way battle.

Ten-man City fought back from a goal down to draw 1-1, with Jose Mourinho’s table-toppers on Sunday, leaving the Londoners three points clear at the summit.

Southampton and Aston Villa occupy are second and third in the table but are unlikely challengers in the long run, meaning the Gunners and City look likeliest to lead the chase.
