Former Arsenal man, Patrick Vieira, has rated the club’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.
The Gunners have positioned themselves as one of the leading candidates to win the Premier League title this season.
Under Mikel Arteta, the Gunners have finished as runners-up in each of the previous three seasons.
Liverpool claimed the title last season following back-to-back wins for Manchester City.
But the Gunners are currently leading the race with a one-point lead over Liverpool.
Arsenal will face Fulham away after the international break and will look to get all three points.
“I don’t know if it’s a good year or not because the Premier League is really competitive,” Vieira, who manages Italian side, Genoa, told Sky Sports.
“I think Arteta made a really strong statement by bringing those players in the summer. On the field, so far, they’re doing really good games.
“I believe that Arsenal is a part of those few teams that can win the Premier League.
“I think you will have to count on Arsenal to be competitive and to be there to fight until the end because the players they managed to bring in will put the quality of the team on a different level.”
Thierry Henry, had also expressed a similarly optimism about Arsenal’s hopes of winning major silverware this season.
