Van Persie tips Arsenal to win the Premier League with a distance
Leading the Premier League table 8 points ahead of Man City, Robin Van Persie backs his former club to win the league title for the first time since the 2003-04 season.
Arsenal will face Liverpool and Manchester City away as well as hosting Chelsea in April as they are eying to end their Premier League title drought. Although many believe the side's inexperience might cost them the league title, Robin Van Persie believes there is nothing to stop the Gunners.
He said after the Rangers' Match of Legends game: "
Arsenal are doing really well, they play consistently. They play really good football that is nice to watch.
"It's intense, defensively and attacking wise, it looks very good. In my opinion, they do deserve to win the league.
"It will still be tough because City will push Arsenal until the last day.
"If you look at this period of time, this is where every single point really counts. There have been a couple of difficult games but they got the three points there, which is what a champion team is made of.
"They have been proving that but the last stretch is always a difficult one. It will be interesting to see but my personal opinion is that they will go for it and they will win the league.
"It has been a while, so I'm happy for them to win it."
