Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has no doubts the current team is good enough to win the Premiership.

The Gunners face table leaders Chelsea this weekend and Cesc is convinced this can be his club's year.

He told the Mirror: "I hope so. We have improved. All the players are one year older and much better.

"The team really wants to do it this year and we believe we can achieve. We have strengthened, with Arshavin - who is a special talent and adds another dimension to the team - and Vermaelen, who has started amazingly and is like a defender and midfielder rolled into one at times!

"Its going to be difficult though.

"Chelsea are looking strong and Manchester United may not have [Cristiano Ronaldo and [Carlos] Tevez but they will be there at the end, fighting for it as always.

"The Premier League is the tournament I really want to win. In Spain, the Champions League is seen as superior to La Liga but here the Premier League is the pinnacle.

"Of course I believe we can win it. If not, there's no point in playing football. I play to win and that's what Arsenal fans want."
