Arsenal tipped to win the Premier League
Arsenal according to former Tottenham midfielder, Jamie O’Hara is seriously being looked at as title contenders, with the former Spurs player acknowledging how good they are at the moment.
According to O’Hara he notices they look a bit special and tips the North London side to shock the rest of the Premier League to claim the title.
This comes in response to the Arsenal starting the campaign in fine form, racing to 3 consecutive wins in 3 games to become the only side still with a 100 percent record in the league.
They have won all 3 of their games with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool all dropping points.
The Gunners’ latest win comes from a 3-0 win on Saturday as they defeated newly promoted side, Bournemouth, with Marin Odegaard netting a brace and William Saliba hitting a goal of the season contender.
The Gunners sit top of the table in week 3 after wins against Crystal Palace, Leicester City and Bournemouth in the first 3 games, which is contrary to last season’s form.
“They are looking a bit special this Arsenal side,” the talkSPORT host admitted.
“They look like Man City in a way it’s like they’ve almost got that where they’re playing like Pep Guardiola’s Man City, it’s almost a joy to watch and I’m a Spurs fan.
“They’re looking like a team that could actually be in amongst it.”
Arsenal winning the league will prove as quite the shock to the rest of the Premier League like it was with Leicester City winning the league in the 2015/2016 season.
Although, Jamie O’Hara’s words is plainly an example of the British media putting the pressure on teams in hopes they fail at the halfway line to create the necessary narratives.
Hopefully the Gunners maintain their resolve and not fall for the gimmicks along the way to think themselves infallible.
