Manchester City will "slip up once or twice" in the Premier League title race to crown Arsenal champions, says former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

Arsenal moved three points clear of Pep Guardiola's side at the weekend with a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United, while City dropped to second with a game in hand.

"I thought the Newcastle game was so important," Rooney said in the latest episode of The Wayne Rooney Show. "If Arsenal go and win that then they really can go and win every game. That was such a big win.

"I feel City have a couple of tricky games in there coming up and I can see them slipping up once or twice."

But despite predicting Arsenal as title-winners, when co-host Kae Kurd asked Rooney which dressing room he would rather be in, Rooney said: "City's - 100%.

"It depends what you're going for. In terms of the Premier League race, you'd rather be in City's one because, [although] I think Arsenal will win it, it's a challenge for City to go and win it again.

"But for Arsenal, all the pressure is on them to go and win the league."
