Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has tipped Chelsea to win the Premier League title this season following their impressive record in the League.
It appears the Gunners boss has conceded the title to their league rivals after he admitted Chelsea are ‘wonderful candidates’ to win the Premier League title.
The Frenchman said: “Chelsea are doing extremely well and will be wonderful candidates for the title – but there are no stand out favorites.
“It’s very open and interesting. A challenge of consistency.”
Arsenal fans will be gutted by this news despite their hopes being raised about their chances of winning the title having gone over a decade of not winning the Premier League.
However, Arsenal are also unbeaten in the league since their 4-3 loss to Liverpool in the first game of the season and will hope to grind out another win over Everton who have not been too impressive so far this season under new boss, Ronald Koeman.
The Blues have won nine games on the bounce and sit at the top of the table with three points ahead of the Gunners.
Chelsea woke up from their stumble when they fell 3-0 to Arsenal earlier this season which prompted Antonio Conte to revert to his favorite 3-4-3 formation.
Arsene Wenger is playing mind game. If you believed what he said, you’d believe anything
