Former Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna feels they can challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title.
Arsenal’s fast start comes during a difficult period for Liverpool, while Tottenham and Chelsea are yet to fully convince.
Sagna, who won trophies while at both Arsenal and City, believes the north London giants are in prime position to battle Pep Guardiola’s previously all-conquering team at the summit.
The Frenchman told Betway: “I feel Arsenal can be the main competition to Man City for the Premier League title, who of course remain the very strong favourites.
“I don’t see any other team that can challenge them. Of course you can’t totally rule out Liverpool, but they have lost Sadio Mane and don’t look the same without him.
“Mane and Mohamed Salah complemented each other so well and were so consistent, I’m not sure Liverpool will be feared in quite the same way this season. I think teams are just paying the way they want to play rather than just working defensively to stop Mane and Salah.
“Having already dropped points it’ll be difficult for Liverpool to catch up.
“With Arsenal having made a perfect start it feels like they could be the main contenders to compete with this incredible Manchester City side for the Premier League title.”
