“I think so, yes,” Arsene Wenger told one of his former players, Freddie Ljungberg, when asked if Arsenal have what it takes to go all the way.
“The next game will be a little decider because we go to Man City. Why not? City is always a difficult team to play but maybe less dominant than they were last year at the moment but that can always come. They know how to do it, they have the knowledge, they have been there.
“Arsenal has the capacity but they have to show they can do it now. I hope and I’m convinced they have learned from last year. Last year, the tension got to them and they dropped in the final sprint.”
He added: “Maybe this year because they have two competitions to go for, they might be a bit more relaxed.”, as per Daily Post.
Meanwhile Sports Buddy reported in recent news that Manchester City defenders Kyle Walker and John Stones will not be available for the crucial title showdown against Arsenal.
