In a program, Premier League star Owen talked about the competition for the Premier League championship this season. He said that he now thinks Arsenal has more hope.

Irving said this: "Before the start of the season, I predicted that Liverpool would win the championship, but now I think Arsenal has more hope. They look very strong. However, Liverpool is still a very good team, and the gap is not big. I am not very optimistic about Manchester City's performance this year."

"The top four in my mind are Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea. As for the relegated teams, I think it may be Leeds United, Burnley and Wolves. . Nottingham Forest may avoid relegation by changing their manager, but those three teams are most at risk. "

Regarding the view of some people that Arteta's coaching position will be in jeopardy if Arsenal cannot win the Premier League championship, Owen expressed confusion: "Arsenal has been performing well for many years, and they have more points than any other team in the past three seasons. "

"You can't be this good all the time and still win nothing. Even if Finishing second is not a failure either. Look at Liverpool, although they have won the Premier League twice, they have also finished runners-up many times. Manchester City has also had several runner-up experiences in recent years. People seem to view runner-up as a negative, but that's not actually the case. "

"Arsenal is constantly improving. Last season they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, outperforming every other English club. It would be outrageous to sack Arteta just because he finished second again. Thinking. Clubs that change managers frequently, such as Manchester United, will end up back where they started. Look at where Arsenal have been in the years since Wenger left and are only now getting back into title contention. "

"If Arsenal continue to trust Arteta, they will definitely win trophies. It's not something you can take for granted - the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world. It's ridiculous to ask someone who has to win the title now to be too presumptuous. "
