  • Old boss Arsene Wenger has warned the Gunners not to waste the opportunity

Arsene Wenger has urged his former club Arsenal to keep pressing in their quest for the Premier League title, insisting they won’t have a better chance in the coming seasons.

The Gunners, who sit three points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the table, have not been crowned champions since Wenger’s star-studded ‘Invincibles’ went unbeaten in 2003-04.

But two negative results in the twist – a 1-0 loss to Everton at Goodison Park and a 1-1 draw with Brentford last weekend – have raised fresh questions about whether Arsenal will lift the elusive trophy in May.

Mikel Arteta’s side host the reigning champions at the Emirates on Wednesday in what promises to be a crucial treble in the title race, with City capable of overtaking the Gunners with a win should they emerge victorious.

Wenger fears his former club will regret not capitalizing on their fruitful start to the season as traditional title rivals Liverpool and Chelsea are likely to bounce back next season.

“You win it when you can win it and you don’t care too much about the rest, you take the title and let the rest talk about it,” said the Frenchman. be in sports.

I agree that the conditions next season will not be as favorable as now, so let’s not miss this opportunity. Arsenal have 51 points after 21 games, which is remarkable.

‘I feel like the usual threats are all out of the race. The only threat is City, and even City are not as dominant as last year or two years before, and I think from the start of the season, City were more vulnerable defensively than before.”

Pep Guardiola’s side have experienced their own problems of late, suffering a defeat against Tottenham before returning to winning ways at the Etihad against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Despite the exceptional goalscoring tally of Erling Haaland, who has already netted 25 Premier League goals since joining from Borussia Dortmund for £51m last summer, City have already lost more games than they did all of last season.

The champions have also faced a series of problems off the pitch in 2023, sanctioning the acrimonious departure of Joao Cancelo to Bayern Munich in January before facing a series of Premier League charges for allegedly breaching financial rules.

Wenger returned to the Emirates on Boxing Day to watch Arsenal win over West Ham, marking his first time at the stadium since his emotional departure at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

“I wanted to take my family there and I think it’s the end of the chapter, I was happy to see the players in the dressing room afterwards.” It was mixed feelings, I sweat to make this stadium for 10 or 12 years every penny,” she added.

‘It was a good feeling to see what it is like now with the crowd happy that the team is doing well. Part of your life is over forever, so a bit of mixed feelings.

“At first I felt it was good to take some distance and not sit there right away and be a burden to the guy that’s there.” Today everything is different and I thought it was the right time. The timing was a bit late, but it was also good around Christmas, so it was nice.

I like what I saw and I like what I felt in the locker room. I feel like the team spirit is great, the humility and hunger of the young players is absolutely incredible. They are humble and hungry.
