Wayne Rooney makes Premier League title prediction after Arsenal beat Fulham
Wayne Rooney has backed Arsenal to ‘comfortably’ win the Premier League ahead of Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta’s side moved six points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 3-0 win at home to Fulham on Saturday.
City have two games in hand and can cut the gap to three points with a win away to Everton on Monday night.
Doubts had been raised over Arsenal’s title credentials following back-to-back defeats in the Premier League to Bournemouth and City last month.
However, Rooney is adamant that Arsenal will win their remaining three Premier League games against West Ham, Burnley and Crystal Palace, and predicts Pep Guardiola’s side will slip up.
‘I think Arsenal will win it,’ Rooney said on BBC’s Match of the Day.
