Former Chelsea No2 Ray Wilkins has told Arsenal and Liverpool fans to forget about a title challenge next season. Wilkins feels Manchester United and his old club are a class above the chasing pack.
He told talkSPORT: "The Premier League has really become an extremely competitive league but I don't see Liverpool being up there, I really don't.
"I've been saying for years [Arsenal] need to build from the base, you can't put the roof on first and if you don't put the base in then you've got a big problem, they need to shore up their defensive situation at Arsenal.
"I've been saying for a long, long time now if they don't do so they will struggle. They have wonderfully gifted footballers, the club itself is class, it's a fantastic football club but if they don't put the defence in first then they will not win anything for the next couple of years.
"If they're going to lose Nasri and they're going to lose Fabregas then we are talking about a number of years before they actually grab a bit of silverware.
"I think if you come above Manchester United and Chelsea you'll win the league, I think they'll be the two contesting the championship once again."
