City have two games in hand and can cut the gap to three points with a win away to Everton on Monday night.
Doubts had been raised over Arsenal’s title credentials following back-to-back defeats in the Premier League to Bournemouth and City last month.
However, Rooney is adamant that Arsenal will win their remaining three Premier League games against West Ham, Burnley and Crystal Palace, and predicts Pep Guardiola’s side will slip up.
‘I think Arsenal will win it,’ Rooney said on BBC’s Match of the Day.

‘I felt this after Man City beat Arsenal as well. I felt it was maybe in Arsenal’s heads having to go to Man City and losing in the cup final to them.
‘But I think still being there, level on points after that City defeat, and I think the fixtures are more favourable for Arsenal. I think they’ll win every game.
‘And I could see City slipping up in one or two games.
‘I could see Arsenal actually being quite comfortable, I think maybe three, five points.
Asked why he believes City will drop points, Rooney replied: ‘I just do. Listen, Arsenal have been fantastic, they’ve been top of the league for most of the season.
‘I just think Arsenal have got a way of playing which doesn’t catch everyone’s eye.
‘But I just think City, with the games they’ve got, it’s congested, Arsenal have been there all season, I think it’s their year.’
