Former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira and ex-Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure have backed Arsenal to win the Premier League this season. The Gunners returned to the top of the table following a 4-2 win over Aston Villa on Saturday, with Pep Guardiola's side only managing a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forrest.
The Gunners are now two points ahead of City and also have a game in hand on their title rivals. With several players missing Arsenal training on Monday morning, Mikel Arteta will be keen to get as many players back fit as possible as the Spaniard prepares his side for a trip to Leicester City on Saturday.
Vieira, who won the Premier League three times with Arsenal, believes the title is now the Gunners’ to lose this season. Speaking to William Hill he said: "I think the Premier League title is Arsenal’s to lose, to be honest with you.
