Ex-Chelsea Manager Glen Hoddle, believes Mikel Arteta will lead Arsenal to a top-four finish in the Premier League this year.
Arsenal won’t be a title contender this year, but according to Hoddle, they will be in two years.
Along with Arsenal, the Ex-Chelsea Manager Glen Hoddle named Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City as the team to beat this year.
Arsenal, which placed sixth last season, has had an incredible start to the 2022-2023 season.
The Gunners are in first place in the league after winning six of their last seven games, one point clear of Man City in second.
Their most recent victory came last Saturday against Brentford, whom they won 3-0 with ease.
It’s nicely set up and both will feel they can get a result (against Tottenham). Brentford was a hard game away from home. Zinchenko and Odegaard both came out of the team through injury, yet they came through with flying colours,” Glen Hoddle said (via HITC).
He further said, “It was normal. They didn’t miss those two players. I thought they would. They were just functioning the same way and in the same style. Everyone is doing their jobs. It looks like everyone is doing their jobs defensively, whereas I felt they were vulnerable last season.
“They are a group of youngsters that I think could be looking to challenge the league in two years’ time, let alone we all have to beat Manchester City.
“Perhaps not yet, their battle will be getting into the top four. But they have a team and squad that’s going to grow, which is a good sign for Arsenal.”
