Rooney speaks on Man City vs Arsenal
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney believes Manchester City will edge Arsenal when the two sides meet this weekend.
According to the Arsenal Insider, the former Everton striker said City hold a psychological advantage over the Gunners under Pep Guardiola.
The former Derby County manager revealed that Manchester City have loads of players yet to win the league and are more determined. Rooney said:
“I anticipate Manchester City will secure a vital 1-0 win over Arsenal. Even if that occurs, it won’t be finalized, but it does give City a slight edge.
“It’s an important game, and I think if City win it, I’ll put them as the favourites to go and win the league.
“City knows how to win the league title. I know City have got a lot of players as well who haven’t won the league, but they know how to do it. They’ve got a man who knows how to do it, and they look strong.”
The former Birmingham City manager added that if results swing in Arsenal’s favour, the Premier League trophy could return to the Emirates for the first time since 2004. He said:
"Obviously, if Arsenal win it, then I think it’s it’s their theirs for the taking. So yeah, it probably is a title decider.”
“I think it’s just the pressure of trying to win the Premier League, and you hear a lot of people talking about experience and how important the experience is of winning league titles.
“I still think they’ve got a great chance to win the league, but they’re just starting to show signs that they’re cracking a little bit."
