Manchester City chief Patrick Vieira says the current Arsenal team play some of the best football the club has ever seen. Gunners legend Vieira is backing the current Arsenal side to finally end the eight-year trophy drought at the Emirates - and sooner rather than later.

Vieira told The Sun: "I believe Arsenal, on a good day when they have all their players fit and in form, can beat anyone. Even the very best teams in the world.

"OK, right now they lack the consistency to win the Premier League title. But they have good players, very good players.

"And if you look at Arsenal in the last few years then I think they have played even better football than we did in 2003-04. For me they are definitely better to watch as a team but we were stronger, had physical presence and more experience.

"In terms of quality, though, they have a lot of quality there. Enough quality to win something."
