Ex-England midfielder, Paul Merson, has claimed that Arsenal will only win the Premier League title this season.
The Gunners’ Quadruple ambitions ended last Sunday, following a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in the final.
Mikel Arteta’s team are away to Southampton in the FA Cup quarter-finals and play Sporting Lisbon at the same stage of the Champions League.
In the league, Arsenal have a nine-point advantage of City in second place.

Merson said on Sky Sports: “Man City turned up in the second half of the Carabao Cup final and absolutely gave Arsenal a footballing lesson at the highest level.
“For 25 minutes of the second half, no one at Arsenal wanted the ball. They were booting the ball away, just kicking it back to City.
“And City destroyed them, absolutely destroyed them.
“It’s a sore one for Arsenal. It’s a confidence-sapping defeat because you come in the dressing room after that and think: oh my God, we just got destroyed in the second half.
“Will it impact the Premier League? Arsenal are too good for the other teams they have to play against in the run-in, so they will beat those teams.

“But watching that game and that second half, I don’t see Arsenal winning anything else but the Premier League.
“Man City are still in the FA Cup. Watching that game, you’d be shocked if Arsenal went back to Wembley and beat them.
“And then in the Champions League, I look at Barcelona – who Arsenal are on course to play in the semi-finals – and Arsenal haven’t got the pace to trouble Barcelona’s high line.
