Liverpool legend Steve McManaman (Picture: Getty)Steve McManaman has backed Arsenal to secure an impressive double this season but miss out on one huge trophy. Mikel Arteta’s side are the clear favourites to win the Premier League having opened up a seven-point lead over Manchester City with eight games remaining. That represents a favourable draw for Arsenal but the Champions League is the one trophy McManaman cannot see the Gunners winning this season. I look at it, my only bet would be Arsenal going to the final. ‘I’m not sure on the other side, with Manchester City you still don’t know because there’s too many good teams.
