Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes as many as six or seven teams could win the Premier League this season. Wenger's side entertain fellow title contenders Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening and start the weekend top of the table, with Liverpool just two points behind in third. Results earlier in the day may see others leapfrog them but Wenger is unfazed, insisting there is a long way to go before the main frontrunners emerge.
"We want to be, and I think we are, title contenders, and Liverpool as well," he said. "You have four other teams certainly, or five, who will be title contenders this year. "It is a big game for us, massively important, but I don't worry about where the teams are (in the table). Wenger said: "He plays for Liverpool tomorrow. What is important for me is the players who play for Arsenal really, not those who could play for Arsenal.
