Former Manchester City defender, Joleon Lescott, has tipped Arsenal win the Premier League title this season.
The Gunners are the current champions after finishing seven points ahead City last term.
Lescott admits it is hard to win the crown in consecutive seasons but believes the continuity in Mikel Arteta’s squad will be an advantage.
“It is very early [to make predictions], but you would say Arsenal,” Lescott exclusively told Mirror Football.
“Considering the key factors, they probably have fewer obstacles ahead of them.
“[Mikel] Arteta has continuity with the players and the squad now has genuine belief, so I would say Arsenal. I know how difficult it is to win back-to-back titles, so that is my overriding opinion.”
