Arsenal legend Ian Wright spots potential problem which could derail Gunners' title bid

Arsenal legend Ian Wright feels the Gunners have a "good chance" of lifting the Premier League title this season - providing they can keep three star men clear of injury.

Mikel Arteta's side are sitting pretty at the top of the table with a significant gap over Manchester City after picking up where they left off prior to the World Cup break. A draw with Newcastle on Tuesday night has slightly dampened the optimism around the Emirates Stadium, though, particularly with City holding a game in hand over their rivals which could reduce the points deficit.

The 0-0 stalemate came ahead of tough fixtures against rivals Tottenham and Manchester United this month, with Arsenal now facing growing pressure to prove they can stomach a title race. Wright is confident Arsenal can set the pace despite the challenge of City to lift the title come May, though admits fitness issues may be their only downfall.
