Manchester City icon Sergio Agüero has tipped Arsenal as a formidable force in the current Premier League title race, suggesting the North London club possesses the necessary momentum to secure the trophy. Having participated in numerous high-stakes title deciders throughout his career, the legendary Argentine striker noted that Mikel Arteta’s squad has demonstrated the tactical maturity required for the season’s final stretch. Agüero’s comments follow a resounding 4-1 North London Derby victory for the Gunners, a result that effectively halted a brief period of instability after two consecutive stalemates.
The emphatic win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium allowed Arsenal to re-establish a significant gap at the summit of the English top flight. While Agüero remains loyal to his former club, he acknowledged that Arsenal’s ability to rediscover their clinical edge in a high-pressure derby signals a team prepared for championship glory. The Gunners now command 61 points from 28 matches, putting the pressure firmly back on the defending champions to respond in their upcoming fixtures.
“Former Manchester City legend, Sergio Aguero, has said that Arsenal is in a good position to win the Premier League title.”
Manchester City currently occupies second place with 56 points, though they maintain a game in hand that could prove pivotal as the campaign enters March. Agüero emphasized that the experience of past title battles often favors the pursuer, yet he conceded that Arsenal’s current five-point advantage provides them with a vital psychological cushion. The rivalry between Arteta and Pep Guardiola continues to intensify, with Agüero observing that the current gap makes every subsequent City match a “must-win” scenario to avoid ceding further ground.
As the 2025/26 season approaches its climax, Agüero’s endorsement adds weight to the growing belief that the Premier League trophy could return to the Emirates Stadium for the first time in over two decades. Arsenal’s upcoming schedule includes critical encounters against Chelsea and Brighton, where they must maintain the “personality” Agüero highlighted to stay ahead of City’s relentless pace. Supporters globally now wait to see if the Gunners can leverage this “good position” to finally dethrone the Manchester giants.
