Wayne Rooney has suggested Manchester City possess a psychological edge over Premier League leaders Arsenal, according to Sky Sports. The former England captain noted that Pep Guardiola's side remains experienced in navigating high-pressure run-ins. He claimed the defending champions would benefit from their history of winning domestic trophies during the final weeks of the season.
Arsenal currently lead the standings as they seek a first league title since 2004. Rooney remarked that the pressure on Mikel Arteta's squad might increase as the conclusion of the campaign approaches, per The Guardian. He indicated that Manchester City's ability to remain calm in difficult fixtures provides them with a distinct advantage over their rivals.
The title race continues with both clubs scheduled for crucial fixtures in the coming weeks. Manchester City are pursuing a record-breaking fifth consecutive top-flight title. Despite Arsenal's position at the top of the table, Rooney argued that City's past successes make them favourites to retain the trophy.
