Arsene Wenger believes this season could be the best opportunity for table toppers Arsenal to win the Premier League.
Arsenal currently sit top of the Premier League table having accumulated 18 points from a possible 21 points, losing only once in seven games so far.
Wenger who won the club’s last Premier League title in the 2003/2004 invisible season, fancies his former side to overcome their title drought this season due to a lack of prominent dominating team.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Wenger said: “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.
“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.”
