Kevin De Bruyne admits he hopes Arsenal can last in this season’s title race - as long as Manchester City come out on top.
After the first quarter of the season, the Gunners sit atop the Premier League table, one point clear of champions City. Arsenal face Leeds United in a lunchtime kick-off on Sunday and can put the pressure on De Bruyne and Co., who face Liverpool at Anfield later on in the day.
The Belgian knows Mikel Arteta’s qualities all too well, having worked alongside him during his coaching stint at the Etihad. And De Bruyne believes it is no shock that the Gunners have been so impressive, claiming that Arteta’s ambition was always clear to see.
