Troy Deeney, a former Watford striker, predicts that Arsenal will only place third in the Premier League this year.
With 40 points after 15 games, Arsenal leads the Premier League, seven points ahead of second-place Manchester City.
If you recall that the Gunners ended the 2022 year on a high recording a convincing 4-2 win over Brighton Hove Albion at the Amex stadium.
Goals from Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli ensured that Arsenal finished the year on top of the Premier League table.
Despite this, Deeney predicts that the Gunners will most likely only place third.
“If Arsenal comes out of the next month unscathed, I will start believing,” he told The Sun.
“But I just wonder that if City catches them, and I believe they can, will Arsenal recover from it?
“I actually feel they will finish as low as third come the end of the season.”
Meanwhile, Arsenal will have to play teams in the top five in their next four games in the Premier League.
The Gunners kick start the year with home game and Newcastle United before they travel to Tottenham and then host Manchester United.
