Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has said he still believes Arsenal are the favourites to win the Premier League this season.
Arsenal currently lead the league table but hold only a two-point advantage over Manchester City.
After losing to Aston Villa, Arsenal managed a 2-1 win against bottom-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium.
Talking about the title race, Rooney said Arsenal’s squad depth gives them an edge.
He said on Arsenal News Channel, “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.
“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.”
