FORMER Tottenham star Jamie O’Hara has highlighted a seven-day period when he predicts that Arsenal will “bottle the title”.

The Gunners are five points clear at the top of the Premier League with 11 games to go.

However, O’Hara reckons that current champions Manchester City will catch them up and Mikel Arteta’s side will crumble under pressure.

Arsenal face a tough set of fixtures at the end of April and beginning of May with trips to City and Newcastle either side of a London derby versus Chelsea.

O’Hara believes these games could cause Arsenal issues, telling talkSPORT: “I think Man City will still win.

“We’ve had a tweet come in and this is exactly what I think, ‘City stay in touch with Arsenal until the last five games of the season, the Gunners will bottle it’ and I think the same thing.

“You stay in touching distance with Arsenal, five points, three points, they’ve got to play each other. Man City need to beat Arsenal, that’s in six games time. After that you’ve got five games left.

“If Man City beat Arsenal, they’re in touching distance with five games to go, who’s going to have the experience, who’s going to have the bottle? Man City have been there all before.

“There’s a lot of football to play. They’ve still got to play Man City, and after they play Man City, they’ve got to play Chelsea, who have pulled it together, then they’ve got to play Newcastle away.

“Alright, three huge games, where in my opinion, Arsenal will bottle the title.

“That week there, April 29 to May 6, that is when Arsenal are going to lose the league.”

O’Hara revealed that he will only accept that the title is heading to the Emirates Stadium if they are top on May 6.

He is not the only pundit to still have doubts about Arsenal despite their brilliant season and form of winning their last five league games.

Gary Neville still thinks Man City will win the title, most recently saying he’s sticking with them over changing his mind to the Gunners.

Meanwhile, Paul Merson believes the return to fitness of Gabriel Jesus after knee surgery could actually hinder Arsenal as it presents Arteta with a headache over who to play.
