Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney believes Arsenal will replace Mikel Arteta if they do not win the Premier League title this season. He claims that the Gunners have no excuses this season, as they are the favorites and have a strong squad that can handle the pressure.
Speaking on his BBC show, Rooney said that Arsenal are grinding out the results and should win the Premier League title this season. He has warned Arteta that he needs to get the club over the line this season, or else he could be sacked, and said (via Metro)
"They've got a good squad and good players. Mikel Arteta has been waiting and has been very close. They've tallied up some very good points in some of those seasons which in other years would have been good enough to win the title. Arteta has got a squad now where they're really expected to win the league. They grind out results, they're physical, they've got good attacking players, they're so solid at the back."

"They've become the favourites. They've been top before and not won it and that's the pressure, can you be top of the league and stay there? I think they can. The squad is good enough now and I think they've had the experiences which have got them close, but I think they're ready for it, I think they're ready to do it. There's no excuses now, there's no excuse. If they don't win it now, you'd probably see a change of manager."
Arsenal are on top of the Premier League table with 22 points from nine matches, four points clear of second-placed AFC Bournemouth.
Gary Neville backs Arsenal to win the Premier League title
Manchester United legend Gary Neville has predicted Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season. He does not think the Gunners are 'miles better' than the other clubs, but have shown consistency and said on his podcast (via GOAL):
"This has got to be them, hasn't it? This has got to be their year. This is the fourth season on the bounce that I've had them to win the league, but they're not necessarily miles better, they're repeating their levels of consistency, and that's all they're going to have to do this year to win the league."
Arsenal take on Brighton & Hove Albion next in the fourth round of the Champions League, before traveling to face Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday, November 1.
