Arsene Wenger Backs Arsenal to Win Premier League Title Despite Recent Struggles
Arsene Wenger has backed Arsenal to lift the Premier League title in the 22/23 season despite their recent struggles.
Arsenal are leading the race for the Premier League title ahead of defending champions Manchester City. But the Gunners dropped points in their last two fixtures in the English top flight.
Arsenal continues to sit at the top of the Premier League table and enjoy a four-point lead over Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
“Hopefully they win it this year and next year it will be easier. But now, when you have never won it, there will be a moment in the season when the tension comes in.
“When you start thinking more about the need to win than the process and how to play, it gets difficult. I felt that at Arsenal when I was there too.”
When asked if Manchester City are the favourites to win the Premier League title, Arsene Wenger backed his former side Arsenal to become the league champions.
He said: “No, no, no. I would say Arsenal still [will win the title]. What you want in this position is to have things in your hand. If Arsenal win their games, they win the league so that’s an ideal position with a few games to go.
“Of course, Man City have an opportunity when they play Arsenal and that could be the decider in the championship.
“I still fancy Arsenal, I’m not completely objective here, but I do. We will also have to see how much the Champions League takes out of Man City.”
Manchester City and Arsenal are set to square off at Etihad Stadium in a Premier League fixture towards the end of April. The result of that match could prove to be pivotal in the Premier League title race.
