Arsène Wenger believes Chelsea are “super candidates”
for the Premier League title but his own team will push them all
the way.
Last week the Blues thumped Portsmouth 4-0 at Stamford Bridge, the
largest margin of victory in the Premier League on the opening
weekend. Afterwards the Arsenal manager admitted that he didn’t
watch the second half because by that time, the match was over as a
contest.
But Wenger insists that you cannot read too much into the first-day
fixtures.
“Chelsea were very good, but Portsmouth had a bad day at the
office,” said the Frenchman. “That can happen to anybody. I watched
the first half, and then stopped watching because I felt the game
was over.
“However, Chelsea were impressive - but on one game you cannot
assess too much. They will be one of the super candidates to fight
for the title, but I feel we have enough to fight with them.”
