Jamie Redknapp has insisted Manchester United and Tottenham will 'put on a show' in their respective games against Arsenal and Manchester City, amid questions over 'players' integrity' during the title run in. 

Arsenal retained their one point lead at the summit after thrashing Bournemouth 3-0 in Saturday's early kick-off. 

Meanwhile, Manchester City kept the pressure on the Gunners with a thumping 5-1 win against Wolves at the Etihad. 

Mikel Arteta's men will want to take the title race to the last day with a win against United at Old Trafford next weekend, while Manchester City travel to Fulham before taking another trip to London against Tottenham a week on Tuesday. 

And Redknapp believes both Tottenham and United will want to win their matches even if it it helps their rivals clinch the title.

Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: 'There’s two interesting subplots. I look at that game with Manchester United away for Arsenal. Conspiracy theorists will say that United would much prefer Arsenal to win it than Man City. 

'Tottenham are obviously not going to want to see Arsenal win the league. Then, you start to question footballers’ integrity, are they actually going to try, and I’ve had so many people asking me, well Tottenham are not going to want to try too hard and hand the title to Arsenal. 

'I’ve been in that position as a player, on the last day of the season. But your integrity as a player is questioned all the time.

'But you want to win! It’s your personal pride, if you’re a Tottenham player playing against Man City, you’re going to put on a show, that game’s going on Sky Sports, you’re going to want to show your best. If you’ve got anything about you, you’re going to show your best.

'Both of them (the games) are massive games, because you’re putting the players in a position that’s really uncomfortable, because they know if they win they’re going to put them in a position to pretty much hand the title to their rivals. All to play for still.'

Meanwhile, Micah Richards believes Arsenal will overcome United and will finish second as City will win their three remaining games. 

'All the players want to get up for big games, no matter where you are in the table. But for Arsenal – they’re a different Arsenal,' Richards said. 

'When you looked at Arsenal last season, it was more of ‘okay they’re playing a certain style.’ I don’t want to say one-dimensional, but a lot of their games, you could see what they were trying to do. 

'This Arsenal are different, they will concede possession, and they can counter-attack. They can also handle the ball – both teams will probably win all three.'
