 What's Been Said About The Gunners' Premier League Title Chance?

Unless you are living under a rock, you'll know that Arsenal is arguably the most in-form team in the Premier League. The Gunners have only lost once in the seven league games they have played. This brilliant form sees the Gunners at the summit of the league with 18 points, with the defending champions a point behind them. So, are Arsenal title contenders? Here's what some football legends have to say about it.

Brentford's Head Coach, Thomas Frank, argues, "Looking at the quality, they must be title contenders. From what I’ve seen in the seven games, I think they’ve been very good. They’ve won fair and square in six, and the other game could have gone either way. [Gabriel] Jesus, wow, what a player! It’s nothing against [Manchester] City, but sometimes it clicks in a different environment."

PL legend Allan Shearer recently said this of Arsenal's league aspirations, "I still think Arsenal's main target is a return to the top four for the first time since 2016, and they have not done too much wrong so far."

"Their next two league games at the start of October, at home to Spurs and Liverpool, will tell us more about whether they can sustain this strong start but, right now, their fans will be enjoying what they are seeing."

Stan Collymore is still not convinced Arsenal are title contenders. He argues: "But just as I’m happy to concede they could well qualify for the Champions League next May, I’m also willing to stick my neck on the line right now and tell all those Gooners who think they will be challenging for the title after five wins from five that they simply have no chance."

Meanwhile, Chelsea legend Frank Lobeuf thinks Manchester City's superiority will impede Arsenal's title chances. He argues, "Arsenal are great, and I want to give them all the credit they deserve.
