‘Arsenal were the better team’ - Maguire claims Arteta’s side has impressed him in title race
The Gunners are on the verge of securing their first league title in 23 years after coming second three times in a row.
With just two games left to play this season, Mikel Arteta’s men are two points above Manchester City on the league table.
Their recent victory against West Ham saw them close in on the title despite Man City defeating Crystal Palace in their outstanding fixture.
Maguire hails Arsenal
Maguire, who played against both teams this season, has revealed which title contender impressed him most this season
Speaking on the Overlap podcast, the defender said, "Honestly, I always thought Arsenal were the better team.
“When we played them, honestly, they give you nothing. They were so solid. We beat them at the Emirates, but we didn’t create much, and we scored two worldies.
“We played well that day, but we didn’t actually create too much inside the box. They defend the box so well. I always thought Arsenal would have enough. I still think they have enough.”
Arsenal are set to face a relegated Burnley side on Monday, and a win for them will take them closer to the title.
They also have a chance to win their first UEFA Champions League title and will face French side PSG in the final.
