Wayne Rooney predicts Arsenal will triumph in all remaining Premier League fixtures to claim the title following Manchester City’s 3-3 draw with Everton.
Manchester City’s Dramatic Draw
Manchester City aimed to cut Arsenal’s lead to three points but settled for a thrilling 3-3 stalemate at Goodison Park. Jeremy Doku struck just before halftime to give City the edge, yet Everton mounted a stunning comeback. Thierno Barry netted a rapid brace, and Jake O’Brien added a header to put the hosts 3-1 ahead in the final 10 minutes.
Erling Haaland sparked City’s recovery with his 25th league goal of the season, and Doku’s brilliant strike salvaged a point. Despite the late fightback, Arsenal hold a five-point advantage with a superior goal difference, shifting momentum firmly in their favor.
Rooney Backs Gunners’ Unbeaten Run
The former Manchester United and England captain, a five-time Premier League winner, foresees no slip-ups for Mikel Arteta’s side. Rooney expects victories over West Ham, Burnley, and Crystal Palace.
“It was a tough game for Man City; I always thought it was a game they could slip up,” Rooney stated on his podcast. “I think Arsenal win all of their games, and that’s why I’ve been strong on this and think they win the league.”
He highlighted City’s inconsistency compared to Arsenal’s steady form. “Arsenal have been consistent with their performances, whereas Man City can be pretty up and down,” Rooney added. “When City are at their best, they’re one of the best teams in Europe, but I think Arsenal win the title.”
Rooney praised Arteta’s approach: “I really like Mikel Arteta… I just think it’s their year. I hope they win it for Arteta and the work he’s put in over the past five years.”
Final Fixtures in Focus
Arsenal face West Ham on Sunday, while Manchester City host Brentford at the Etihad on Saturday. Pep Guardiola now depends on Arsenal faltering, but Rooney envisions a professional finish from the leaders.
