Going into this weekend’s fixtures, Mikel Arteta’s side maintain top spot, sitting two points clear of City in second place.
Merson is confident that his former club will end their 22-year wait for the trophy.
He told Sky Sports: “I think they [Arsenal] win the league. There are 22 games to go.
“If there were six games to go and I was sitting here and it was two points, then I’d say Man City!
