Arsenal have been warned by club legend Robert Pires that as many as five teams could compete for next year's Premier League title, putting added pressure on the Gunners to win this season's crown.
Although Mikel Arteta 's side sit top of the table, Manchester City have it their power to earn their third successive league title should they win all nine of their remaining games - including at potentially title-deciding match at home to Arsenal on April 26. Pires has therefore urged his old team to make the most of their opportunity, as next term will be "much harder."
According to the ex-Arsenal midfielder, both the Gunners and City as well as Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are all capable of mounting a serious challenge in 2024. Pires has also warned Arteta's men of the "added burden" of playing in the Champions League.
