Arsene Wenger believes his former side Arsenal could be shock title contenders this season, claiming the team has "no weak position" at the moment. It comes after an ideal start for the Gunners, who find themselves top of the Premier League table after six games played so far.
While talks of a title challenge rumble on, Mikel Arteta's primary goal will be to make sure his side can finally make their return to the top four. The Spaniard narrowly missed out on doing just that last season, having to settle for fifth and Europa League football once again.
After a summer of heavy investment and a five-match winning run, the side lifted clear at the top - before defeat to Manchester United - with many questioning the possibility of a title challenge. When asked about that, Arteta responded: "No, this is just the start of the season. We are in a long, long marathon."
