EPL: Wenger names club as contender amid Chelsea, Man City, and others

Former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has stated that the Gunners should not be ruled out of the Premier League title race this campaign.

So far this season, Arsenal have lost only one in their six EPL matches, which was their game against Manchester United at Old Trafford before Queen Elizabeth II’s death.

The North London side made some improvement to their squad this summer by signing Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City, while Fabio Vieira also joined in a £34m deal from Porto.

Owing to this, Wenger now believes they have a shot at the EPL title this season, adding that neither Manchester City nor Liverpool are ‘completely dominating’.

“I would say they are moving in the right direction,” Wenger told The Sun.

“I honestly think there is no weak position in the team… they are young, promising players and they have bought well this year.

“There is no completely dominating team this season and Arsenal has a chance with the potential that is there.

“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.”
