Liverpool legend, Graeme Souness, has said that Arsenal will not win the Premier League this season despite sitting top of the table at Christmas.

Souness believes that six-time winners Manchester City will still be able to claim their third consecutive crown.

Mikel Arteta’s Gunners are currently five points clear at the top of the table, a team exceeding expectations so far this season.

Arsenal have been defeated just once in the Premier League and sit five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s side heading into the FIFA World Cup break.

“Arsenal right now if you ask me, are a club that are going places with this manager.

“Will they sustain it? I still think people are playing for second place to City, but Arsenal are a fabulous story right now, they really are.”
