The Gunners ended a 22-year wait last season, finishing seven points ahead of Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta’s men have opened this campaign with a 3-0 thrashing of City in the Community Shield last Sunday.
And Rooney is backing Arsenal to be champions again and City to be runners-up.
Rooney has also said Liverpool and Manchester United will complete the top four.
