EPL: Hopefully he’s right – Arteta reacts to Wenger’s title prediction

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has said he hopes Arsene Wenger’s prediction about the title race is correct.

The legendary Gunners boss has said his former club is back in business and are the likeliest bet to topple champions Manchester City.

Arteta, who failed to lift the title as captain under Wenger, has now admitted they have to work on the pitch to make it reality.

“Hopefully he is right. Just like he has been right on so many occasions.

“It’s great that people who know and love the club so much have such an opinion about us.

“Now, unfortunately, we have to show that on the pitch,” Arteta said.

Arsenal welcome Liverpool this weekend and could go 14 points clear of the Reds at the top.
