Michael Owen says the quadruple will be beyond Arsenal’s reach this season
Michael Owen believes Arsenal will not win the quadruple this season and claims Mikel Arteta ’s side can be beaten in the FA Cup and Champions League .
Arsenal booked their place in the Carabao Cup final on Tuesday night with a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the semi-final . Arteta’s men will play either Manchester City or Newcastle United on March 22.
In the Premier League, Arsenal recovered from three games without a win by beating Leeds United 4-0 last weekend, and Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham last Sunday means the Gunners are six points clear at the top of the table.
‘I don’t think there’s anybody good enough to compete with them this season, even though I don’t think the points total is going to be that good,’ Owen told talkSPORT.
‘I think the only teams that could have beaten them at the start of the season were Liverpool and Manchester City, who are obviously faltering.

‘So I think Arsenal certainly will have won it, but they’ve been semi-handed it.
‘I think nobody’s put much pressure on them, so I think the league is nearly wrapped up.’
In the Champions League, Arsenal finished top of the league phase and will play one of Borussia Dortmund, Olympiacos, Atalanta or Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16.
Meanwhile, in the FA Cup fourth round, Arsenal are at home to Wigan Athletic.
When asked if he believes that Arsenal will win the quadruple this season, Owen replied: ‘No, I don’t think so but I think they are special, they’re a very strong side, they’re very efficient.
‘I think they could win the Carabao Cup, absolutely they could and then the other two are going to be tough.
‘All the other teams are going to be focusing on the FA Cup even more now because the league is almost over. It’s going to salvage their season so they’ll be putting strong teams out.
‘Then there’s the Champions League, that could be anybody’s, that’s really open this year.’
