How Arsenal motivated Leicester for Premier League title success and what Mikel Arteta can learn

This season could be the year that Arsenal end their long wait for a Premier League title. The Gunners haven't won the league since 2004, and Mikel Arteta's side have emerged as potential surprise title contenders following an impressive start to the season, which has seen them win six of their first seven games.

Arsene Wenger, the Gunners manager when Arsenal last won the Premier League, believes his old club have a huge opportunity this season as there is no 'super-dominating team' in the division. Within that long period without a title, there have been huge disappointments and missed opportunities for Arsenal.

The Gunners missed a massive opportunity to win the league title in the 2015/16 season, where Leicester City won the division in one of the greatest shocks in modern football history. Leicester, a 5000/1 shot to win the league at the start of the season, finished a whole 10 points clear of Arsenal in second.
