- Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand believes Mikel Arteta's men won't win
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand is confident Arsenal won't win the Premier League title and has named two games that they will lose in the run-in.
Arsenal are in the Premier League title race for the second consecutive season, and if they take their chances by winning their remaining games, they will be champions.
They capitulated with three games left to go last season, allowing Manchester City to win their third consecutive title despite being top for most of the season.
According to Opta Joe, they spent 248 days at the top of the table, compared to Man City's 16. This was a record for the most days leading the league without eventually winning it.

Ferdinand rules Arsenal out
English pundit, Ferdinand was asked to predict the results of the remaining games for the three title contenders on a TNT Sports special with Laura Woods.
The former defender's predictions suggest Arsenal will once again fail to win the title, and he picked out two games that he believes will cost them this year.
He believes Mikel Arteta's men will lose 2-1 away at North London rivals Tottenham and fall to a 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford against his former club.
He predicted three 1-1 draws against Fulham, Everton and Aston Villa for Liverpool, while he thinks city neighbours will only draw against Tottenham on the final day while winning the rest.
His predictions have City as champions for the fourth consecutive season with 89 points, while the Gunners will finish second with a superior goal difference to Liverpool.
