FORMER Arsenal and Manchester United player, Robin Van Persie has given his predictions on who would win the Premier League title this year, declaring that his ex-club, Arsenal would lift the trophy.
The player, who won the league with Manchester United, hinted that Arsenal has been playing like champions, so they deserve to win the title ahead of defending champions, Manchester City, who are one place behind Arsenal.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Van Persie said, "If you look at this period of time, it is when every single point really counts. They have had a couple of difficult games and got three points so that is what a champion team is made of and they have been proving that.
"The last stretch is always difficult and it will be interesting to see. My personal feeling is they will go for it and will win the league. It has been a while so I am happy for them to win it."
Arsenal, who last won the title in 2004, has put up an impressive performance so far this season, winning all of their last six games in the Premier League, which has placed them eight points clear on top of the table.
