Graeme Souness has said on Sky Sports Premier League (1:03pm, January 1, 2023) that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will not win the Premier League title this season, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City will.
The Gunners have been in excellent form this season and dropped just five points, but there have been concerns about the depth and experience among Mikel Arteta’s young squad as the season progresses.
They beat a strong Brighton side in their last game, but there were nervy moments as they gave up two three-goal leads.
Mikel Arteta’s side are as many as seven points clear of second-placed City at the top of the Premier League table at the moment.
But Liverpool legend believes that although Arsenal have been good so far this season, defending champions Manchester City will come good and go on a run.
Souness said: “I still believe that City will come good. I think they will go on a run and end up as being the champions, as good as Arsenal have been.”
He also felt that City had the mentality to overcome the deficit despite recent performances, as he added: ‘They haven’t been terribly convincing, but they have the inner belief that they can win the league. That will stand them in good stead.’
Manchester City are next in action against Chelsea on Thursday, while Arsenal face Newcastle in their next game on Tuesday,
