The likes of Arsene Wenger and Patrick Vieira are feeling bullish about Arsenal's chances this season, insisting that the Gunners are genuine Premier League title contenders. The Arsenal legends believe their former club can maintain their early season form, which sees them top the table after six matches.
"There is no completely dominating team this season and Arsenal has a chance with the potential that is there," said Wenger. "We used to be in the top four and why not again? You cannot even rule out the fact that they can fight for the title and hopefully, they can do it.”
Crystal Palace boss Vieira was in agreement with his old manager, saying after playing Arsenal and Liverpool in back-to-back games: "When you look at the number of points, of course playing against two teams who are fighting to win the Premier League, is always going to be challenging."
