Arsenal don't have the balls to become the Premier League champions, claims former Manchester

 Manchester United legend Paul Scholes admits he feels 'conned' by Arsenal this
season and expects them to come up short in the title race because they 'don't have the balls.'
Arsenal fell six points behind league-leaders Leicester on Wednesday following a devastating home defeat against Swansea, their second league loss in succession following their Old Trafford failure.
Arsene Wenger now needs to rally his troops in time for a must-win north London derby but Scholes fully expects Tottenham to end Arsenal's title hopes once and for all.
 
'They can virtually put Arsenal away with a win,' the former England international told BT Sport.
'The question about Arsenal is – have Arsenal got the bottle to go there and win a game after the two results they've just had? I doubt whether they've got the bottle or the balls to go on and do it.
'This season I think I was a little conned by Arsenal. I thought they'd added a bit of steel with Cech and Ozil was really coming into his own and I had a slight feeling that they might go on to win it.

'But once again they haven't disappointed, they always seem to, when it comes down to the crunch, lose their bottle and they can't produce in big games.

'And Wenger, I think, if he gets to the end of the season and they haven't won the league this year then I think he has to be under big pressure now.'
Arsenal had the chance to cut the gap on Leicester, with the Foxes being held to a draw by West Brom at the King Power Stadium 24 hours earlier.
But goals from Wayne Routledge and Ashley Williams saw them slip even further behind, with rivals Tottenham also coming up short following defeat against West Ham at Upton Park.
