Gabriel Jesus has suggested that he believes Arsenal could pip Manchester City to the Premier League title.
As quoted by the Daily Mail, the former Sky Blues frontman gave his views on his side’s prospects of domestic glory in the upcoming campaign.
Gabriel Jesus is seemingly confident that Arsenal could leapfrog Manchester City to win the Premier League title.

The 26-year-old also recently made headlines for admitting that he was furious about Oleksandr Zinchenko playing up front instead of him against PSG in 2021.
The Brazilian international ultimately left City to join the Gunners in the summer of 2022, as his side famously capitulated in the title race while his former employers hit their stride during the business end of the campaign.
However, Gabriel Jesus now has faith in his Arsenal side getting one over Manchester City in the title race.
“Even before, I was feeling like that the gap was not that big. They were together [for] years and that made a difference. Winning for years made a difference also. The year I arrived, I believed we could fight and win. Unfortunately, we didn’t win but I think we will win, for sure.”
Until Pep Guardiola is Manchester City boss, that seems unlikely
At the end of the day, Gabriel Jesus is fair in backing Arsenal to do the business in the title race, despite them being up against one of the greatest teams of all time in Manchester City.
While the club’s trajectory suggests that they could end their long-awaited title-drought one day, it is unlikely to be the case until Pep Guardiola is in charge.
Last season is evidence of the fact that no other manager in world football is capable of coming up with the tactical solutions that Guardiola does, as the change of system at City was key in their treble triumph.
With the Spaniard being a master in winning titles in any case, Jesus and Co. may have to patiently wait for his departure before they can finally lift the elusive trophy.
