Arsenal legend George Graham fears this year’s title talk has come too early for Mikel Arteta’s “excellent” young side.
Arsenal top the table at the halfway stage on this FA Cup weekend. They go to struggling Everton this Saturday in the knowledge a win could send them further ahead a day before Man City go to Tottenham.
But the proud Scot, who won the title as both a player and manager for the Gunners, refuses to burden Mikel Arteta by making them favourites to win the Premier League. “I think it’s too early,” Graham said, as he looked ahead to the challenges facing his former club in the second half to the season.
