Arsene Wenger points out Arsenal's Premier League title race advantage ahead of Man City 'decider'

Arsene Wenger has backed Arsenal to overcome their blip and beat Manchester City to the Premier League title but knows the meeting between the pair this month could be the 'decider'.

Mikel Arteta's side have stumbled in recent weeks, twice throwing away two goal leads against Liverpool and then West Ham - the latter of which also saw Bukayo Saka miss what would have been a decisive penalty. Doubts have begun to surface as to whether an inexperienced squad can cope with the psychological demands of a title challenge.

Despite this, the Gunners could travel to the Etihad on April 26 with a seven-point gap between them and City, with Pep Guardiola's side in FA Cup action against Sheffield United this weekend while they host Southampton at the Emirates. And Wenger believes that while the title is still in his former side's hands, he believes they can still win it.
