Prior to Wednesday’s match against Manchester City, former manager Arsene Wenger expressed concern that Arsenal may not have another opportunity to win the Premier League than this one. Arsenal won three Premier League championships under Wenger’s leadership, although the Gunners haven’t taken first place in England since the 2003–04 season, when they won their last trophy.
But now that Mikel Arteta is in charge, the London team has a game in hand and is three points ahead of City in second place going into Sunday’s matchup at Emirates Stadium. The renowned former boss Wenger has advised Arsenal not to waste the chance after their recent struggles, which have seen them earn only one point from their last two games. “You win [the title] when you can win it and you don’t really care about the rest,” said the winner. He said to beIN SPORTS, “You take the title and let the rest speak about it.
“I agree that the conditions won’t be as good next season, so let’s take advantage of this chance. Amazingly, Arsenal has 51 points after 21 games.
