With 18 points from seven games, Arsenal are currently in first place in the Premier League, and Arsene Wenger believes they can stay there.
With 18 points out of a possible 21 so far this season, Arsenal have had a fantastic start to the season.
This has put Mikel Arteta’s team atop the Premier League standings, and due to the lack of genuine opposition, legendary ex-boss Wenger thinks they have a good chance of winning the league.
With an undefeated record in 2003–04, Wenger was the last manager to lead Arsenal to the Premier League title.
However, the ensuing years have not been kind to the Gunners, as they no longer even qualify for the Champions League. Their last top-four finish came in 2016.
What Did Wenger Say About Arsenal?
Wenger said to Sky Sports: “I would say they have a good chance [of winning the league] this season because I don’t see any super dominating team. I believe that it is a good opportunity to do it this season.
🗣 “I’m still in touch with them [Arsenal] and overall I believe they are going the right way. Arsenal is a special club, there is a good balance between tradition and forward thinking.”

“Of course, it’s a little bit of a special season as well because you have the World Cup in the middle and you don’t know how much that will affect the performances of the individual players and of the teams. Overall, I believe there is a good opportunity there this season.”
