Arsenal will win the 2023-2024 league, their next game against Man City will be a title decider -Arsene Wenger
Arsenal legend coach Arsene Wenger believes his former side ‘have the capacity’ to win the Premier League title this season ahead of their huge clash with Manchester City on Sunday.
Former boss Wenger, whose 22 years in charge in north London were filled with trophies, backed his old side but admitted their final position will be determined by their performances in the run-in as Man City and Liverpool also hunt glory.
Asked if Arsenal have what it takes, he said: “I think so, yes. The next game will be a little decider because we go to Manchester City. City is always a difficult team to play but maybe not as dominant as they were last year at the moment, but that can always come. They know how to do it, they have the knowledge, they have been there.
Arsenal sit top of the Premier League table heading into Sunday’s match and will be hoping for a statement victory in their search for a first title since 2003/04.
Wenger won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups as Arsenal manager and oversaw their ‘Invincibles’ season when the Gunners went unbeaten for a full campaign. He led the squad through 1,235 matches and remains Arsenal’s longest serving manager.
“Arsenal has the capacity but they have to show they can do it now. I hope and I’m convinced they have learned from last year. Last year the tension got to them and they dropped in the final sprint.
“Maybe this year because they have two competitions to go for, they might be a bit more relaxed.”
The league leaders Arsenal have three key players who are questionable to play for Arsenal tomorrow, The left-winger Bukayo Saka who is their top goal scorer with 13 goals scored and 8 assists, the right-wing Gabriel Martinelli, and their striker Gabriel Jesus and with the absence of Jurrien Timber who is suffering injury since the start of the season. The home side Manchester City will miss Kyle Walker and John Stones and Kevin De Bruyne is in questionable.
