Former Arsenal captain, Patrick Vieira, has stated that the Premier League title is Arsenal’s to lose this season.
Vieira, a member of The Invincibles, who famously lifted the trophy with the Gunners in their unbeaten 2003/2004 season, believes that Mikel Arteta’s men have what it takes to beat the two Manchester giants to the top spot.
Vieira who manages London rivals Crystal Palace was quick to praise Arsenal for their recent 4-2 triumph over Aston Villa, citing the win as evidence that the Gunners are in top form and brimming with confidence.

“I think the Premier League title is Arsenal’s to lose, to be honest with you.
“I think Arsenal did really well against Aston Villa to bounce back with that 4-2 win at Villa Park.
“They are just in a really good place at the moment, with a lot of confidence,” Vieira said.
It’s still early days in the season, and the competition will undoubtedly be fierce, but with the backing of a football legend like Vieira, Arsenal fans will undoubtedly be feeling optimistic about their chances of lifting the trophy for the first time in over 15 years.
