Arsenal legend Ian Wright has admitted that he is worried about his former club leading the way in the title race ahead of Manchester City.
Following the Blues' shock defeat to Brentford on Saturday and the Gunners' victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, Mikel Arteta's north London club are five points clear of Pep Guardiola's side heading into the World Cup break. Once the teams reassemble after the major tournament, City are thrust straight back into action against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on Thursday, December 22 while Arsenal have a slightly longer rest which will last until Boxing Day.
The Gunners' lead at the top of the Premier League is surprising considering Arsenal have not won the title since the 2003/04 season. During the years that have followed, the north London side have been used to chasing down the teams that are above them, like City.
