Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is confident of launching a title challenge this season.
Without a win since the opening day of the Premier League season, Wenger's side face an in-form Aston Villa outfit on Saturday.
Despite sitting in seventh place, Wenger believes his side are in a "comfortable position" to challenge for the title.
He said: "We're in a more comfortable position (to challenge for the title), we can keep our big players and buy big players such as Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez."
