Arsenal
Patrick Vieira on Arsenal vs Manchester United: “I was expecting Arsenal to win the game against Man United, but they didn’t. City had a difficult period (with injuries). “All their players will come back from injuries, and I believe City will perform really well by the end of the season. It is still really open. I think Arsenal have enough to go all the way and win the title, but if they don’t win against Leeds, there will be more pressure, especially if Man City win their next game. Then the question could change.”
