Renowned football player Rio Ferdinand, who has played for Manchester United and England, recently shared his concerns regarding Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League title under their manager Mikel Arteta. Despite a strong start to the season, the team has had some setbacks in their recent matches, causing them to drop points and fall back in the rankings.
Ferdinand, who has won six league titles with Manchester United, believes that Arsenal still has the potential to become champions for the first time since 2004. However, he also points out that their close competition, Manchester City, has been performing below average this season, making it less than ideal for Arsenal.
The former defender also highlights the team's injury record as a cause for concern. With several key players out due to injuries, Arteta has had to make do with a depleted squad. But Ferdinand remains optimistic and still believes that Arsenal has what it takes to win the title.
His former teammate, Paul Scholes, echoes Ferdinand's sentiments and warns Arsenal of the threat posed by Manchester City. Despite their current struggles, Scholes believes that City always improves in the second half of the season and that Arsenal cannot afford to lose against their top rivals if they want to have a chance at winning the league.
Both Ferdinand and Scholes point out Arsenal's recent losses against top teams such as Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City as evidence that they need to improve their performance in crucial matches. They also mention City's history of getting better after January as a potential threat to Arsenal's title hopes.
Arsenal will face bottom-placed Wolves in their next Premier League match, followed by a midweek Champions League game against Club Brugge. With the pressure on to secure a long-awaited league title, it remains to be seen how Arsenal will fare in these upcoming matches.
