Vieira sees Arsenal’s Invincibles in Man City squad

Former Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira claims Manchester City remind him of the unbeaten Gunners side of the 2003/04 campaign.

The Frenchman believes Roberto Mancini's men have the same spirit as Arsene Wenger's champions and can beat Manchester United to the trophy.

"Why this team reminds me of Arsenal is that the focus is there as a team," Vieira told the Daily Mirror.

"What I really like about this team and makes me remember Arsenal, is the atmosphere in the dressing room.

"There is a group of lads, who have a really strong relationship. They are really friendly and really strong.

"At Arsenal I liked going to training every day because the atmosphere was really good and I feel at City it is the same.

"I feel the club and Roberto have created this relationship with the players, who like to be together, who like to spend time together - that's the start to success. Players who want to achieve the same objective.

"At Arsenal we believed in ourselves. Our self-belief was really high. Maybe some people will say that was arrogance, but it was just self-belief. We knew we were good enough to win the league - I believe that is what's happening at City."
