DIDIER DROGBA has tipped Arsenal to win the Premier League title because of his former team-mate Petr Cech.
The Gunners were beaten 2-1 by West Brom on the weekend and slipped to fourth in the table, two points behind surprise leaders Leicester City.
Cech moved to the Emirates in the summer from Chelsea for around £11million and has quickly settled to life under Arsene Wenger.
Drogba, who played with the Czech international for nine years at Stamford Bridge, believes that while Manchester City will be strong, he's backing Arsenal because of his "friend".
"I think Manchester City will be as strong as they have been in the last few years," Drogba told Sky Sports News.

"Unfortunately Chelsea are too far [behind in the title race], so I will go for my friend Petr Cech at Arsenal."
And when asked if he felt Arsenal had the strength in depth to maintain a title challenge throughout the season, he added: "They've got Petr Cech."
