West Ham's Upson expects Arsenal to maintain title challenge

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Tue, 10/27/2009 - 03:42

West Ham United captain Matthew Upson believes Arsenal will be competing for the Premiership title this season.

Even though Arsenal threw away the chance to close the gap on leaders Chelsea down to just three points, and with a game in hand, Upson believes his old club will be challenging for the title come May.

"It is tight at the top, but Arsenal are a world-class team with some fantastically talented players," said the man who won a championship medal at Highbury in 2001/2002 before joining Birmingham after a lack of regular first-team opportunities.

"They have got pace and ability all over the pitch, so I have got no doubt over their quality. They will be in contention."
