Gary Neville thinks Arsenal will win the Premier League title, although he predicted "10 weeks of pain".
Arsenal are five points clear of seond-place Manchester City, having played a game more than Pep Guardiola's team.
The Gunners edged out Chelsea 2-1 on Sunday, and take on Brighton on Wednesday, while Man City host struggling Nottingham Forest.
But Neville believes Arsenal will just about have enough.
"They have quality, physical strength and experience of the last three years of losing it," he said on Sky Sports.
"They have to look back on the last three years. They know this is going to be hard work. They've got 10 more weeks of pain, these Arsenal fans watching in the crowd, watching at home sometimes when they're away.
"This is not going to be pleasant, it's not going to be easy. It's going to be anxious but they've got to enjoy the thrill of it, that's why they're here.
"Every single time we come to Arsenal, and we've done this for a number of years - we go over to that 2004 year that's over there, halfway up across the stand and say they haven't won the league for 22 years.
"They have got to try to get rid of that. In the last three years they've been up against City and Liverpool, and they've lost out in those battles. They've got to call upon the experiences they've had and dig in like you wouldn't believe, and they're doing that."

The Opta supercomputer supports Neville's opinion, with Arsenal winning the title in 83.3% of the model's data-led simulations.
However, Neville acknowledged that going up against the title-winning know-how of Guardiola will be a tough hurdle for Mikel Arteta's team to overcome.
"The one worry other than injuries and number of games is being up against Pep Guardiola's machine, who have won titles," he added.
"Gabriel Jesus has won the Premier League but he doesn't look like the kind of type who's going to get the players over the line on his own.
"The one question you would have is who is the player in that dressing room settling everyone down, composing them. We had a lot of experienced winners, and it is hard work but I do think they'll get there."
March could prove to be a pivotal month for the Gunners. After facing Brighton, they take on Mansfield Town in the FA Cup and Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League either side of a home clash with Everton in the top flight.
They go up against Man City in the EFL Cup final on March 22 to round out the month.
