Legendary Premier league goalkeeper, David Seaman, has picked Arsenal as firm contenders for the Premier League title this season.
He believes the Gunners stand a good chance to beat Manchester City to the title, especially now that Rodri is injured and out for months.
The Gunners have finished second behind Manchester City in the previous two seasons and will be hoping to go all the way in this campaign.
The former Arsenal goalkeeper said on Seaman Says podcast, “We’re now genuine contenders. It’s taken us a while to get back to that but that’s what we are now.
“Obviously, they [Manchester City] have got Rodri out, he’s going to be out for the rest of the season it looks like, and that’s a massive loss.”
Speaking about the upcoming match against Bournemouth, he called for caution:
“It’s going to be tough. These are the games that tripped us up last season. These are the ones you expect to win and then all of a sudden you’re coming off the back of it with nothing, no points.”
