The Gunners have not won the league since 2004 but are in a strong position to end that drought, having moved five points clear of Man City and eight points clear of Man United with a game in hand over both clubs.
Mikel Arteta’s side have amassed 50 points from 20 league games, suffering just their second defeat of the season last weekend as they were beaten by Everton.
Manchester City have won four of the last five league titles but all is not well at the Etihad, with Pep Guardiola’s team dropping points seven times this season and losing to Tottenham on Sunday.
Manchester United are making real progress under Erik ten Hag but their eyes may be on the top-four and the League Cup final as they will be 11 points adrift of Arsenal if they win their game in hand.
Former Premier League manager Redknapp has been impressed by ‘fantastic’ Arsenal but still expects Manchester City to ‘pip’ the Gunners to the title.
Speaking on the Mennie Talks podcast, Redknapp said: ‘Arsenal are playing fantastic football. The football they’re playing and the team just looks so well balanced.
‘Two great wingers in [Bukayo] Saka and [Gabriel] Martinelli, they’re strong in midfield – [Martin] Odegaard looks a real player, I love the way he plays, he’s just class. And they look solid at the back, Ramsdale is good.
‘I don’t know though, I’ve still got a feeling Man City are going to win it, I think they’re going to come with a rally and pip Arsenal. But it will be tight.
‘Arsenal are going to take some catching, but the one team you don’t want chasing you down is Man City!
‘If it was anyone else chasing them I’d say, “yeah fine”, but Man City are so dangerous. Just look at their bench.
‘[Ruben] Dias and [Phil] Foden haven’t been getting a game and they would walk into any other team in the Premier League.
‘The changes Pep Guardiola can make all over the pitch is just ridiculous. Whereas I think if Arsenal get a couple of injuries it will be a big problem for them.’
