Arsene Wenger issues Arsenal rallying cry ahead of title showdown: ‘Let’s not miss this opportunity!’

Former Arsenal boss says Gunners must take advantage of Man City issues

Arsenal’s time to win the Premier League is now, according to Arsene Wenger.

With the Gunners top of the table by three points ahead of facing rivals Manchester City on Wednesday, the club legend former manager believes they may not get a better chance to break an almost two-decade long league title drought.

Pep Guardiola’s team are struggling to defend their crown with the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea all off the pace - a scenario which may not last long.

Wenger told beIN Sports: “You win it when you can win it and you don’t care too much about all the rest, you let other people talk and you take the title.

“Maybe the conditions next year will not be as favourable as they are now, so let’s not miss this opportunity.”

He added: “Arsenal has 51 points after 21 games which is remarkable.

“I feel the usual threats are all out of the race. The only threat is City and even City are not as dominant as they were last year or two years before and I feel since the start of the season City have been more vulnerable defensively than before.”
