Arsenal currently sit in the second position on the Premier League table with two points behind leaders Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta’s side are ahead of third position Liverpool on goal difference.
However, with six matches remaining to conclude the 2023/24 Premier League season, Wenger believes Arsenal’s goal difference is an advantage for Arteta’s side.

According to him, if Pep Guardiola’s side play a draw in their next Premier League match and Arsenal wins, the North London club will go top of the table.
“It was a complete surprise [Arsenal’s defeat to Aston Villa],” Wenger said on beIN SPORTS.
“When you play for the championship, at home, with a few games to go, and you have the opportunity to make a difference, you have to take it.
“The surprise of the weekend is that Man City have their noses in front again, nobody expected that. Maybe one of those teams can have a bad result but not both, that was quite surprising.
“But Arsenal still have an advantage with the goal difference so even if Man City draw a game and we win, we will be in front of them.”
