Arsenal have been told that they need “help” from Chelsea if they are to beat Manchester City to the Premier League title this season, reports football365.com.
 
The Gunners have had a troublesome couple of weeks, with Mikel Arteta‘s side suffering back-to-back losses for the first time this season.
 
Arsenal were deservedly beaten by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final, and then the Premier League leaders were knocked out of the FA Cup by Championship side Southampton.
 
These results have ended Arsenal’s Quadruple hopes, but they can still win the Premier League and/or Champions League this season.
 
Arsenal are currently nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table, but they still need to play second-placed Man City, who have a game in hand.
 
And pundit Tony Cascarino thinks Man City “will beat” Arsenal when they clash later this month, while the Gunners need “help” from Chelsea to win the title.

“I would say if you ask me today and Arsenal have to go to the Etihad and get a victory, I think City will beat them,” Cascarino told talkSPORT.
  
“I think eight out of 10 times at the moment, City would beat Arsenal. I think it’s really important that Chelsea, who City play next away, get some sort of result for Arsenal.
 
“I think they need a bit more help from other teams. I don’t see Arsenal winning every game, I just don’t.
 
“I think all Arsenal fans will be shell-shocked today at what they’ve witnessed. There is a good side; we know they are.
 
“They’ve led the way all season, but for this period of the season to then look vulnerable that would be a concern.”
 
Former Arsenal star Kieran Gibbs, meanwhile, has explained why he thinks Arteta needs to change how he plans to use teenager Max Dowman during the run-in.
 
“I think he looks ready, he’s not a player who really plays the occasion; he plays the game with what’s in front of him,” Gibbs said.
