Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has revealed that he thinks Arsenal will bottle the title this season.

The Gunners are four points ahead of second-placed Manchester City and eight points clear of last season's champions, Liverpool, who are in eighth place.

Manager Mikel Arteta is on his way to his first league title as he cruises at the top of the league despite various injuries damaging his side throughout the campaign so far. 

It is early to predict but Arsenal look like title winners already as they ease their way towards the title. However, not everyone thinks the same, as Yorke spoke to Snabbare via the Metro about how Arsenal may just slip up. 

"I just think Arsenal will do what Arsenal do again. I have a funny feeling that somehow they won’t get it over the line. 

"It depends on the competitions they are in too. I’m sure Mikel Arteta is going to prioritise everything. He’s trying to win it all, but you’ve got to win your domestic league. 

“It could get pretty chaotic. I think Man City just have that know-how." 

Arsenal have not won the Premier League title since 2004, finishing second in each of the last three seasons. In the modern day, it is typical for the club to miss out on the title and allow rivals to get ahead. 

Now, with top defender Gabriel out injured for what could be two months, Arsenal may begin to drop their fine form and collapse under Arteta, much to the delight of rivals such as Liverpool and Manchester City.
