Good start Arsenal pause them World Cup 2022 as a highlight Premier League. But being chased Manchester City worry former players.
Arsenal have started this season well. 14 weeks passed The gunners with a record of 12 wins, one draw and one loss.
The pace put them top of the Premier League table on 37 points. Arsenal are five points clear of holders Manchester City.
That lead is enough to reinforce the idea that Arsenal are ready to fight in the title race. But former ‘London Cannon’ striker Ian Wright is even concerned that Mikel Arteta’s side are currently top of the table.
Being ahead of Manchester City angered Ian Wright, as he doubted Arsenal had the mental strength to deal with the pressure. He actually prefers Arsenal to be the party he’s chasing.
“If I were Manchester City, I’d sit silent and say ‘Okay, Arsenal are a candidate with us now’. We know Manchester City can apply pressure,” he said at the event The Kelly and Wrighty Showas quoted Football365.
“The pressure can take them off and they can relax and start playing. At the same time, of course, I still want (Arsenal) to finish, but it’s going to be tough.”
“I think they learned a lot from last season, especially in the final races and it will be a good lesson for them. I think it’s better to recover, because there’s no other choice.”
“You just keep winning the next game. If you draw, you hope they lose. When you chase, there’s the momentum of the chase. You get closer and closer and then it starts making them feel like ‘Oh my God, where’s the advantage now?'” he added.
