Rooney predicts Man City to win the Premier League

"I think the title race will be very interesting, because Arsenal have not been in this position for a long time so it is difficult to avoid the pressure that comes with it. I think we will see that pressure when the season has seven or eight rounds left. I really want to see if they can maintain what they did throughout the season," Rooney told CNN on March 30.

Arsenal are leading Man City by eight points but have played more than one game. If they keep the top of the table for another 10 rounds, Mikel Arteta's teachers and students will bring the "Gunners" the first English Premier League title since the 2003-2004 season, when they were crowned with an unbeaten record all season under the leadership. by former manager Arsene Wenger.

The depth of the squad and experience in the end-of-season sprint are considered strengths of Pep Guardiola's teachers and students. On April 27, Man City will host Arsenal at Etihad Stadium. The outcome of this match can greatly affect the championship race.

"I think Man City will be ready when Arsenal stumble. They have won the Premier League in the past few years, won many titles and have a coach as seasoned as Guardiola. In my opinion, Man City will surpass Arsenal," Rooney said. comment.

According to the former Man Utd striker, his old team "almost has been eliminated from the championship race, although the theoretical opportunity has not been exhausted". And now, if he has to choose between Man City and Arsenal, Rooney hopes the London team will take the throne.

Arsenal will take on Leeds at the Emirates home in the next match this weekend. They hope to be able to widen the gap when Man City have to take on Liverpool in the 30th round. The "Gunners" are worried about the injury of central defender William Saliba, who cannot attend the training session on March 30.
