(GSM) – Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes that this campaign could witness the toughest Premier League title race in history, as the Frenchman keeps an eye on six main rivals.
With several teams competing for honours this season, Wenger feels even Everton and managerless Aston Villa could be among them.
Despite, Chelsea’s double last season with Manchester United a close second in the Premier League and Arsenal third, the changing of the guard had already begun.
Tottenham finished fourth after a nail-biting battle with Manchester City while Liverpool dropped out of the Champions League places.
Wenger is confident Arsenal can climb the “two stairs” required to clinch their first title since the Invincibles swept all before them in 2004.
But City will have bankrolled their title challenge to the tune of £100million if James Milner completes his move to Eastlands.
And Wenger told Arsenal.com: “What changed in England last year is that everybody could drop points, it was the first season that really happened. So it will be more open this year.
“You expect Manchester City, who invest a huge amount of money, to be one of the contenders as well.
“Tottenham [can challenge] if they can confirm what they produced last year, Aston Villa as well. You could have six or seven teams because Everton for me has a strong squad too.
“I believe we have a good chance. The most important thing is that we have that belief.”
