Former Premier League star Yaya Toure has backed Arsenal to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League table despite being challenged by Manchester City.
City remains one of the favourites to win the league title, and most fans still do not believe Arsenal has what it takes to end the season with it.
However, Mikel Arteta’s side has been in good form, and they are five points clear at the top of the league table, which should make them a team to fear.
Toure considers them good enough to keep winning after the World Cup. He said, as quoted by HITC:
“Arsenal have a great chance.
“I think Arsenal is going to carry on. Even maybe Jesus’ injury, at the moment.
“But let’s see different things as well. Arsenal was on top before the World Cup. I think maybe they could still carry on, even though Manchester City are really strong.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Even though we do not seem like serious title challengers to most fans and pundits, some still believe we have what it takes to win the title.
We should thrive as underdogs because we have less pressure to deliver, and our fans will be happy if we end the term inside the top four.

Sitting on top of the league for weeks leading up to Christmas feels so good, I can’t feel any other way but to agree with Yaya Toure.
It is said if a fish comes up from the bottom of the sea saying a shark is at the bottom you got to believe.
I do believe Yaya Toure, whoever catch us shall surely win
