EPL: Wayne Rooney tips slight favourites for title

Former Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney, continues to support Arsenal as “slight favourites” to win the Premier League.

At the Etihad on Sunday, the Gunners were defeated 2-1 by Manchester City.

The hosts’ first goal came from Ryan Cherki, but a minute later, Kai Havertz tied the score.

With Arsenal going close to taking the lead, Erling Haaland netted the winner.

The result saw City go three points behind Arsenal and they could go top with a win at Burnley in midweek.

With five games left to play, Rooney believes Mikel Arteta’s men cannot be written off.

He said: “This title race is not over yet, I still feel like there are some more twists and turns to come.

“It is is obviously going to be tight but City have got one more game to try to win, so I still have Arsenal down as slight favourites.”
