Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has DISMISSED their title chances this season.

Wenger belies Manchester City will beat his former team for the Premier League title.

That is despite the legendary manager's obvious loyalties and the Gunners' blistering start to their campaign.

Wenger told beIN Sports: "Yeah, personally I would put them just behind City.

"[Arsenal are] the second-best team to have a good chance to win the Premier League because Man City at some stage will focus highly on the Champions League.

"I think [Arsenal are City's best challengers]. And after we don't know about Liverpool but they are already 11 points behind and 10 points behind Man City is a mountain to climb."
