This thrilling race has left many supporters and neutrals on the edge of their seats, and it now appears that Dladla is now also putting money where his mouth is.
A video posted by content creator Molemo Lehoko on Instagram, Dladla and fellow Supersport colleague Nqobile Khwezi are seen entering into a R10 000 bet over who will win the Premier League.
The former Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs star is backing Arsenal to triumph, whilst Khwezi is steadfast on City claiming the trophy for a fourth consecutive season.
The two have agreed that winner will receive the amount "in cash", with Dladla remarking: "Arsenal don't disappoint me!"
All eyes will be at Old Trafford this weekend, as Arsenal have to overcome one of the biggest rivals to keep their title hopes alive. The Red Devils have only lost just one of their last 16 Premier League home games against the Gunners.
