Arsenal legend Ian Wright has warned his former club that Manchester City are still alive in the Premier League title race.
The Gunners beat AFC Bournemouth 3-2 by staging a late comeback to open up a five-point lead at the top of the table. They are gunning for their first league trophy since the 2003-04 campaign, while Manchester City are in the hunt to defend their league title.
Speaking on The Kelly & Wrighty Show (h/t Metro), Wright, who won the league with the Gunners in the 1997-98 season, said:
"If I’m playing in Arsenal’s dressing room right now, I’m not expecting City to lose any more games. You know that you’re going to have to go out there and if it goes to the last second, that’s what you’ve got to do. You don’t want to look yourself in the mirror and say you could have tried harder in this game or that game.
He added:
"You get some luck… You get some bad luck… But you’re not stopping, you are fighting until the end. When you look at Arsenal’s next two [top-flight] games, Fulham and [Crystal] Palace, they are two teams who can both cause Arsenal problems."
The former England international concluded:
"If they get something out of one of those games, it could be a problem. Palace for Arsenal at home is a difficult game. We probably have to win all of our [remaining] games. Arsenal have got Liverpool away [coming up], this Liverpool… the rebirth! They’ve assembled again! From now till the end of the season, you can’t call anything
The north London giants have away league games left against Newcastle United, Liverpool and Manchester City, while they welcome Chelsea at the Emirates on April 29.
The clash against the Cityzens three days prior to that at the Etihad could prove to make all the difference in the closing stages of the season.
Arsenal could welcome Leandro Trossard back after the international break - Reports
Leandro Trossard pulled up short in the first half of his team's 3-2 win against AFC Bournemouth on Saturday (March 4).
He was taken off in the 22nd minute for Emile Smith Rowe, with concerns surrounding the nature of his injury. Initial assessments, however, showcase that the injury isn't as bad as first feared (h/t Evening Standard) [h/t Sport Bible].
The Belgium international could be back in time for his team's league tie against Leeds United on April 1 after the March international break.
Trossard was signed in January from Brighton & Hove Albion for a fee of £27 million. He has since scored once and assisted twice in nine games across competitions for his new club.
