Patrick Vieira predicts exact date Arsenal will win Premier League title

Patrick Vieira is confident Arsenal will win the Premier League title this season but believes Manchester City will push them all the way.

The Gunners last week looked to have suffered a big blow to their hopes of winning the league for the first time in almost two decades with a home defeat to City.

A few days later, on Saturday, they were in severe danger of dropping further points at Aston Villa before two goals in injury time secured a huge win, and then hours later City were held to a draw by Nottingham Forest.

Vieira believes the league crown is heading to the Emirates Stadium for the first time, but not until the final day of the season.

"The Premier League title is Arsenal's to lose, to be honest with you," Vieira told William Hill.

"Arsenal did really well against Aston Villa on Saturday, to bounce back with that 4-2 win at Villa Park. They are just in a really good place at the moment, with a lot of confidence.

"But I still believe Manchester City will chase Arsenal until the very last day of the Premier League season. But I think it's Arsenal's title to lose."
