Arsene Wenger says Arsenal have "a good chance" of winning the Premier League this season for the first time since they went unbeaten in 2004.
Speaking at the club's annual general meeting Wenger, 67, said that the title will be won with between 82 and 86 points this year.
He said: "Today we are in a much more competitive position to fight for the title than five or six years ago.
"I believe we have a competitive team in a very competitive league."
Arsenal are second after nine games, one of three teams on 20 points and only kept off top spot by goal difference.
