Wayne Rooney has predicted the Premier League title race as Manchester City continues to pursue Arsenal.
The Gunners have had a good season and continue to show their title pursuit is not a fluke.
Mikel Arteta’s men have shown nerves of steel and have earned some huge victories in recent weeks.
Fans are happy about their performance and some believe it is certain they will be champions by the end of the season.
However, City is not making it easy as the Citizens continue pursuing them and try to match Arsenal’s results weekly.
Rooney admits City are a problem and says they could go on a winning run until the end of the season.
However, he insists that Arsenal are still the favourite to win the title.
He wrote in The Times:
“The title race? Nothing would surprise me from Manchester City.
“They could put together an incredible run and still win it but you have to say Arsenal are favourites.
“Everyone has been waiting for them to drop off but they’ve been top of the league for so many weeks and dealing with the pressure all season. I don’t see a collapse from them.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
As long as we remain atop the standings and continue to win our games, it will be hard for City to catch us.
We do not have to pay attention to what they do at the Etihad. Instead, we should focus on winning as many games as possible.

We will focus on what they do at the Etihad when we meet them there. We hope it turns out negative for them on the day.
If I had to put money down right now ,it would be lumped on us ,we do not look like losing ATM ,we also have that cushion where we can afford a loss or maybe even 2 depending on city’s fixtures .
I really think this is our year and we should I’ll have deserved it .
And we will have deserved it *
I make city faves due to their fixtures
Mostly against teams near the bottom while we go to Ethiad , Anfield and st James
This is my fear, we have tougher games compare to Manchester City
This is what makes Arsenal the Champions!
On paper victor .no easy games in this league
Relegation battle team might sweat blood compared to team who already save or liverpool. Hehe.
So Citeh might found it tricky.
Hope the two Champions League games and FA cup will have a negatively effect on Manchester city’s players mentality.
I have analysed our fixtures and the city fixtures I can only see city dropping points against Brighton away they will finish on 92 points and we will finish on 86 points I hope I’m wrong but our fixtures are really hard add that to the fact we have to go to anfield etihad and st James park that’s 1 point there maybe 2 if we’re lucky Chelsea and Brighton at home are difficult fixtures I can see us dropping points in at least one of these and forest away is really tough fixture we know through fa cup last season and the fact that hardly any team has won there West Ham Southampton and wolves we will beat we will get one more win out of the 3 teams I mentioned most likely to be forest 2 draws out of Liverpool city Newcastle Brighton and Chelsea so I’m pretty certain we will finish on 86 points
Have you considered that City have more games to squeeze in? They will also be heavily focused on reaching another CL final
How can u be pretty certain? Were u also certain from d beganing of the season tgatvwe will be 8 point top with 9 games to go? Apart from City all our remaining games are winnable
We really have tougher games than Man. City. We’re going to have four straight tougher matches. After Liverpool and Southampton, the four big games are Manchester City v Arsenal, Arsenal v Chelsea, Newcastle v Arsenal, Arsenal v Brighton. They’re really tough but as long as the season is ours, Good would make things easier for us.
Even the relegation zone will be tough to beat, so even city won’t have easy wins,with CL on the cards,they won’t risk all their players.
We are genuine title contenders and we have shown over the weeks that we had nerves of steel. Come the end of May arsenal will be EPL Champion. COYG.
JA Opinion states that “as long as we keep winning our games, it will be hard for City to catch us”..
WOW! I have to marvel at such wisdom, (he added, sarcastically!!)
I don’t see us loosing from those called big teams. Things have changed and I think we’re not under pressure. Man City is the one under pressure. However I see the hunger with our boys. Title on its way to Emirates.
Arsenal is a changed team currently. We only need good officials to handle matches. Arsenal has chance to win
We have to beat Liverpool and draw with Man city,Chelsea hasn’t been headache to us for some time now, it’s only Newcastle game that’s tough but the rest are winnable.
