Ian Wright has expressed his belief that his former club Arsenal will win the Premier League title this season.

Mikel Arteta’s side are currently top of the Premier League. They are above Liverpool on goal difference and one point ahead of Manchester City.

Wright believes Arsenal will have learned from last season when their title challenge crumbled.

Wright told Sky Sports: ‘I think David Raya, Declan Rice and Kai Havertz have changed – three signings who have made a huge difference to what’s going on.

“Also mentality… the players will take something from what happened last season. Now they are more ruthless, they know exactly what they have at this stage of the season.

“I’m glad that right now it looks like they’re on the right track.”

‘Of course I’m going to Arsenal! With what happened last season, they know what to do. They are in top form, all the players are fit now.

‘I’m not going to sit here and say, ‘Oh, I hope…’. That’s not what the players want to hear. They are very focused, a close-knit team with a manager who is ambitious and very focused on what he wants to do.’
