Attacker Wayne Rooney is convinced that London can win the English Premier League this season.

According to the footballer, the team currently in fifth place is strong enough to challenge the two Manchester teams: "Man Utd" and "Man City".

"I definitely wouldn't write off Arsenal, because this team of eleven can surprise. It's great to compete in a league with so many great clubs," Rooney said.

On Sunday, "Man Utd" will travel to London to face Arsene Wenger's team. With 17 rounds left in the league table, the French coach's team is trailing the leader "Man City" by 15 points.

In the first round, "Man Utd" humiliated "Arsenal" by a score of 8-2, and while reminiscing about it Rooney said: "That result was amazing and very unexpected. But since then, our opponents have been playing much better. After all, it was just the beginning of the season."
