Arsene Wenger explains why Arsenal are title challengers

Wenger, who led Arsenal to three Premier League titles during his 22-year reign, has maintained that his former side are in a pole position to rival Man City and Liverpool for the crown.

According to the legendary French manager, the lack of a dominating team in the English top-flight this season could give Arsenal an edge in the title race.

"I would say that they have a good chance this season [to compete for the title] because I don’t see any super-dominating team," Wenger told Sky Sports.
"I believe that there’s a good opportunity this season to do it," he added.
