City were held to a 3-3 draw at Everton on Monday evening. That result leaves Pep Guardiola's side five points adrift of Arsenal, though they've a game in hand.

Rooney told BBC Sport he's convinced the Gunners will keep winning consistently. "I'm concerned for West Ham," he noted, referring to Arsenal's upcoming fixture.

According to the former United striker, Arsenal's approach sets them apart from rivals. "They're efficient and professional," he explained, "and I just think they will win every game."

Rooney added that City's draw essentially hands the title to Arsenal. With momentum on their side, the Gunners should claim the crown, he suggested.
