EPL: Wenger reveals advantage Arsenal have over Man City in title race

Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has claimed he saw signs of tiredness from Manchester City during the closing stages of Wednesday night’s Champions League clash against Bayern Munich.

City progressed to the last four following a hard-fought 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena, with a 4-1 aggregate win.

Pep Guardiola’s men continue their quest to win the Treble this year, with Sheffield United up next in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday.

The Premier League champions will then welcome Arsenal to the Etihad next Wednesday, in what has been billed as the title decider.

Wenger told beIN Sport: “Like Guardiola said tonight City is tired.

“I felt really they finished tired in the last 10 or 15 minutes (against Bayern) and maybe Arsenal can take advantage of that because Arsenal plays nothing else, just the championship and they play on Friday night after they have five days to prepare for this game.

“Physically they could have an advantage and surprise City, that’s what I hope of course, but let’s see.”
