Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has predicted their title chances as he insists there is no clear team that is a favourite this season.
Mikel Arteta’s side had started this campaign in fine form, and they are currently at the top of the league table.
Manchester City and Liverpool have been the dominant team in the competition in the last few seasons, but this campaign could be different because the Reds are struggling, and Arsenal is refusing to give up its spot at the top of the league table.
The Gunners remain one team that can change the top-four standings by earning a spot for themselves.
However, can they end their wait for another league title? Wenger thinks so.
He said via The Daily Mail:
‘I would say they (Arsenal) have a good chance this season because I don’t see any super dominating team.
‘I believe that it is a good opportunity to do it this season.
‘Of course, it’s a little bit of a special season as well because you have the World Cup in the middle and you don’t know how much that will affect the performances of the individual players and of the teams.
‘Overall, I believe there is a good opportunity there this season.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Winning the Premier League would be tough, but we have started this season well, and we have a very good chance of ending the campaign in a good position.
Our players are in top form, and they continue to show they mean business this time.
If they continue to play well, the team will certainly end the year well.

We are in a better position than we have been for quite some time but I don’t think it is realistic to suggest at this point of the season that we are going to finish first. Some way off from getting a proper feel of how the season will unfold
It doesn’t change the fact that we have a chance!! Best of luck to all arsenal family.I look forward to us lifting the premier league trophy
My message is a direct reply to SueP
We most certainly have a chance and I’d be tickled pink if we surprised the bookies.
I have learned over the years not to get carried away – it’s better than being horribly disappointed
Yes we can coz we’re the Arsenal
Its speaking an untruth to suggest that there is no dominating team this season.
VERY OBVIOUSLY INDEED, City are by a long way the sensible and clear favoutrites, rightly so, to win the title. To suggest that is not so is to fly in the face all evidencd and to ignore facts.
I SAY CITY WILL WIN THE TITLE WITH MANY POINTS TO SPARE OVER THE SECOND TEAM.
Many fans loathe and do anything to avoid reality, just because their hearts do not want it. Nor does my heart want it but my head says it, so I listen to my head, not my heart.
THAT is why I am a realist. BOOKIES HAVE CITY AROUND 3-1 ON and bookies are not financial idiots. REALISM!
