Arsenal legend Robert Pires feels they can win the title, if the Gunners can find a midfield enforcer.
Pires, who made 284 appearances for the Gunners between 2000 and 2006, still harbours hopes of an Arsenal triumph.
"I hope we can still win the title," the Frenchman told Sky Sports. "Of course it is going to be very difficult, but the season is very long and the Christmas period coming up will be a very important one for Arsenal.
"The good news is that Theo Walcott is coming back but the bad news is that Mesut Ozil is out.
"But I still believe in Arsenal, I believe in the players and of course I believe in Wenger."
