Arsene Wenger backs Arsenal to win Premier League
Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has backed his Arsenal to win the Premier League title despite Manchester City’s pressure.
Rob Holding has come into the team to deputise for the French man but Campbell has said he does not have the quality level Saliba brings to Arsenal.
Kevin Campbell speaking in an interview, said, “Let’s be brutally honest here, if Tomiyasu was fit, who’s to say Ben White doesn’t go alongside Gabriel, and Tomiyasu plays right-back.
“That’s no disrespect to Rob Holding, because I think Holding’s done all right. But, Saliba has shown at this level, he’s a cut above and we miss him so much.”
Saliba better than Holding
Campbell made mention of some of Saliba’s qualities that Holding lacks which has caused Arsenal’s defence fragility.

PREMIER LEAGUE Arsenal willing to risk William Saliba for Premier League title run-in
The problem has required Saliba to be managed on a daily basis.
Still speaking, he said, “Not only his presence there, because he can deal with Antonio, he can deal with long balls, he’s quick, he covers the ground.
“On the ball, he makes us start and tick from the back, which is so important when Rob Holding’s nowhere near as good as Saliba on the ball.
“Saliba will drop a shoulder, and then play a ball into midfield so somebody can get it and turn. Rob Holding just hasn’t got that in his locker.”
Arsenal will welcome Southampton to the Emirate Stadium on Friday night as they hope to go seven points clear of City who will play in the FA Cup semi-final.
