Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has expressed that he still considers Arsenal his favorite to clinch the Premier League this season.
The Gunners currently sit atop the league table, holding a slim two-point lead over Manchester City.
Following a setback against Aston Villa, Mikel Arteta’s side bounced back with a 2-1 victory over bottom-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium.
Speaking on the ongoing title race, Rooney highlighted that Arsenal’s squad depth could give them a crucial edge.
“I still think Arsenal are the favourites to win the league but it’s going to be really interesting if Man City stay close to them,” Rooney told Arsenal News Channel.
“That will bring back memories for the Arsenal players of having the lead before and Liverpool or Man City snatching it off them. It will be interesting.
“Arsenal are still favourites for me but City are looking good. I still fancy Arsenal with the squad they have but City are looking good and dangerous again and that could disturb Arsenal come the end of the season.
“I hope it doesn’t, I would love Arsenal to win it, but that would be my concern if I was an Arsenal fan. The Arsenal players would be crazy if they weren’t worried about Man City.”
