Arsenal legend Ian Wright has called for a \u2018collective effort\u2019 to stop Manchester City this season so his former club can win the top-flight title.<\/p>\n
Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
The Gunners were close to securing their first Premier League trophy since 2004 last term but a late capitulation saw City come out on top again.<\/p>\n
Pep Guardiola\u2019s treble winners have dominated English football in recent years and have landed five of the last six top-flight titles.<\/p>\n
But back-to-back defeats to Newcastle United and Wolves in the Carabao Cup and Premier League respectively has given other teams hope this season.<\/p>\n
Wright feels than Tottenham are title challengers this term and wants Arsenal to team up with their north London rivals, as well as with Liverpool, to halt City.<\/p>\n
\u2018What I liked about Wolves\u2019 win over Man City is that is shows in this league\u2026 if you\u2019re not quite right, you will get beat,\u2019 he told The Kelly & Wrighty Show.<\/p>\n
\u2018They had a game plan and we know what it is: Man City will attack you, and you have to take your chances when they come. Even when Wolves went down to 1-1, they still went for them.<\/p>\n

\u2018That\u2019s what you have to do with Man City. The whole league needs to do that with Man City, to keep them under that pressure. <\/p>\n
\u2018It has to be a collective effort to slow Man City down, so Arsenal can hopefully win [the league].<\/p>\n
\u2018The top teams \u2013 Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool \u2013 they have to get something off them.<\/p>\n
\u2018When you think about those teams chasing Man City and then you hear they\u2019ve got Wolves, naturally in your mind you\u2019re putting it down that they will win that game.<\/p>\n
\u2018So when you see teams like Wolves putting Man City under pressure and beating them, it gives you more energy. <\/p>\n
\u2018If Arsenal are going to win the league, or Tottenham or Liverpool, at some stage you\u2019re going to have to beat them at least once. They are capable of being beaten, we see that every season. It\u2019s up to us now.\u2019<\/p>\n
