Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer have issued the same verdict on the fight between Arsenal and Manchester City to win the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Arsenal<\/strong> are back as the favourites to win the Premier League title after Man City dropped points against Everton on Monday night.<\/p>\n After the Gunners piled on the pressure by beating Newcastle United and Fulham, City<\/strong> collapsed to draw 3-3 at Everton to give up control of the title race.<\/p>\n Man City still have a game in hand over Arsenal, but they are five points adrift of Mikel Arteta\u2019s side and need their rivals to drop points in their remaining three games to win the title.<\/p>\n However, Shearer has backed Arsenal to \u201cwin all three games\u201d against West Ham, Burnley and Crystal Palace to get over the line.<\/p>\n \u201cNo, because I think Arsenal will win all three games,\u201d Shearer said on The Rest is Football when asked whether he thinks there will be more twists in the title race.<\/p>\n READ: Man City cursed by Neville in PL title race as Arsenal \u2018relishing\u2019 run-in, Guehi and co. slip first \u201cWhen you think about it, Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal players now are five games away from being legends of that football club forever.<\/p>\n \u201cThey can win the Champions League and they can win the Premier League. Win three in the Premier League and they\u2019re done, win two in the Champion League and they\u2019re champions\u2026 five games away!\u201d<\/p>\n Rooney has agreed with Shearer and has explained why he wants Arsenal to win the Premier League this season.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a tough game for Man City, I always thought it was a game they could slip up,\u201d Rooney said on his BBC Sport podcast.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Arsenal and Manchester City\u2019s \u2018alive\u2019 title race is still only about one thing: \u2018BOTTLE\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI think Arsenal win all of their games and that\u2019s why I\u2019ve been strong on this and think they win the league.<\/p>\n \u201cThis was the game I thought Man City might drop points. You never know what\u2019s going to happen but this is what I thought would happen and it could be a really important night in the title race.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve talked about Arsenal feeling the pressure but we saw it with Man City against Everton. Players like Guehi and Semenyo haven\u2019t won the title before and we saw the pressure.<\/p>\n \u201cArsenal have been consistent with their performances whereas Man City can be pretty up and down. When City are at their best they\u2019re one of the best teams in Europe.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I think Arsenal win the title, I think they win every game. It\u2019s not over but I do think they win every game and I hope they do to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Man City \u2018bottlers\u2019 as Arsenal fans promise to be \u2018insufferable\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n He continued: \u201cI really like Mikel Arteta, people have criticised Arsenal and the way they play but I like it and how they\u2019ve gone about their business.<\/p>\n \u201cI just think it\u2019s their year. I hope they win it for Arteta and the work he\u2019s put in over the past five years. It will be huge for him if they win the title.<\/p>\n \u201cI just think Arsenal are efficient and professional and will win every game now.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
