Arsenal and Manchester City are the favorites contending for the Premier League title this season, and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has given his overview of this season’s title race.
Manchester City is looking to secure back-to-back Premier League titles, but they are currently sitting behind Arsenal in the table, who are at the top with 72 points from 29 games. City is not far behind, though. The Cityzens have played 28 games and earned 64 points; they will play the league leaders later this month in an attempt to close the gap between themselves and the Gunners.

Former English striker Wayne Rooney is backing the Gunners to take the title home this season. He is confident that Arsenal will be able to withstand the intense pressure that Pep Guardiola’s team is putting on them.
In an interview with The Times, Rooney said, “The title race? Nothing would surprise me from Manchester City. They could put together an incredible run and still win it but you have to say Arsenal are favorites.”
“Everyone has been waiting for them to drop off, but theyâve been top of the league for so many weeks and dealing with the pressure all season. I donât see a collapse from them.”
