Liverpool legend Hansen writes off Arsenal as title contenders

Liverpool legend Alan Hansen has wrote off Arsenal's title hopes. Hansen wrote in the Telegraph: "Arsenal may be looking down on Chelsea and Manchester City from the top of the Premier League this morning, but they will not end the season as champions.

"Despite their hugely impressive reaction since losing to Aston Villa on the opening day of the season, which has enabled them to move clear at the top of the table, I still believe that Arsenal will end the campaign in fourth place.

"Last season's top three - Manchester United, City and Chelsea - will be there again, but not necessarily in that order, leaving Arsenal to claim fourth. They clearly have an embarrassment of riches in the middle of the pitch and genuinely multi-talented players in Mesut Özil and Aaron Ramsey, but their critical flaw is that they are just not good enough when they do not have the ball."
