Arsenal’s Theo Walcott has told the club’s fans that he expects the Gunners to win the Premier League this season.
Walcott believes the north London club are now ready to end their six-year barren spell of no silverware, and told The Sun: “I think this year we’ve got that experience that any failures from the past won’t happen again.
“We need to win the Premier League.
“There is a confidence in the camp – and I believe we will be champions, I really do believe it.
“I’m very confident, you’ve got to be.
“If you’re not confident, then there’s something wrong completely.”
Although the England international’s confidence may surprise many, Manchester United are still to travel to the Emirates and the Gunners have a game in hand, so the title race is far from over.
The 22-year-old is set to return to action this weekend after a five-week spell on the sidelines with an ankle-injury.
Arsenal face Blackburn Rovers on Saturday evening as they look to close the five-point gap on United in the title race.
