Micah Richards hails Arsenal's mental toughness as title favorites

Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards has praised Arsenal's mental toughness, declaring they are now the favorites for the Premier League title. After Man City beat Crystal Palace 3-0 on Wednesday, Pep Guardiola's men remain two points behind Arsenal with just two games left each. Richards highlighted Arsenal's resilience, noting they weren't playing well but turned their fortunes against Fulham and West Ham. He contrasted this with last season's Arsenal, suggesting they would have lost confidence after defeat at Man City. With the title race going down to the wire, Arsenal's ability to handle pressure has transformed perceptions among pundits. Will this be the season Arsenal finally breaks their title drought, or will they choke again under the weight of expectation?
