Former Manchester United and Liverpool striker Michael Owen has predicted that Arsenal will win the Premier League this season, even though their potential may not match that of Manchester City.
The ex-Real Madrid and Stoke City forward stated that Arsenal's defense will be the crucial element in their quest for the title after a 22-year wait.
As they head into the international break, Arsenal enjoys a four-point advantage over Manchester City.
City appears to be in strong form again and has been favored by fans and analysts to compete with Arsenal for the Premier League trophy.
“Arsenal’s strength lies in their defense,” Owen remarked on Premier League Productions.
“They have an excellent goalkeeper and a solid back four that is well protected.
“They capitalize on their strengths and concede very few goals.”
When asked if the Premier League title is ‘Arsenal’s to lose,’ Owen replied: “Perhaps, they are several points ahead. If you ask anyone, they would likely say Arsenal is the favorite at this moment, so it will take a significant effort to surpass them.
“I don’t foresee them dropping too many points because they are incredibly efficient. Leading the race brings its own pressure, but the way they play, they are remarkably effective.
“If Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool all perform at their absolute best, I still consider Arsenal to be the third-best team.
“When everyone is at their peak, Liverpool can outclass any opponent, and so can Manchester City.”
