Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has expressed strong confidence in Arsenal’s ability to secure the Premier League championship this season. His prediction follows Manchester City’s unexpected 3-3 draw with Everton, which has shifted the momentum in the title race.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Rooney emphasized Arsenal’s efficiency and professionalism, stating that the Gunners are likely to win all remaining matches. He pointed out that City’s dropped points have opened the door for Arsenal, who now hold a five-point lead at the top of the table, though City have a game in hand.
Rooney specifically highlighted Arsenal’s upcoming fixture against West Ham, predicting a victory that would further solidify their position. He said, “I’m concerned for West Ham. I just think Arsenal are efficient and professional. I just think they will win every game. So obviously, with the result tonight, that means they will win the league.”
The former England international’s comments come after a thrilling match at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, where City failed to secure maximum points. Rooney’s assessment suggests that Arsenal’s consistent performance and disciplined approach make them the favorites to lift the trophy.
