Arsenal's 22-year wait for a Premier League title looked to be nearing an end, but recent results have cast doubt on the Gunners' credentials as champions-elect.

Ex-Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has provided what could be interpreted as a psychological boost to the red half of North London as the title race approaches its climax.

Wenger remains a deeply influential figure whose connection to Arsenal transcends his 2018 departure.

His 'Invincibles' are still the last Arsenal squad to lift the Premier League trophy, and Wenger's insights into the current battle carries weight given he is a man who mastered the art of winning across three decades.

“I believe that Arsenal will win the league. I deeply believe. It looks, to me, like common sense," Wenger said, at a Twinning Project event shortly after Manchester City's 2-1 win.

"I like Eze, Odegaard, Havertz and Madueke attacking. Manchester City will not make the perfect run-in.”

Should Manchester City win at Burnley on Wednesday night by two-or-more goals, Pep Guardiola's side will leapfrog Arsenal into top spot with five games remaining.

Man City have Brentford, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa left to play at the Etihad Stadium, as well as trips to face Everton and Bournemouth.

Arsenal, on the other hand, host Newcastle, Fulham and Burnley. The Gunners are also scheduled to play away at West Ham United and Palace before the season's end, but have the added complication of a two-legged Champions League semi-final bout with Atletico Madrid.
