Wenger - Contenders will emerge next month

The next few weeks will determine the frontrunners in this season’s title race according to Arsène Wenger.

Arsenal joined leaders Manchester United and second-place Chelsea at the top of the Premiership with a 3-0 victory over Liverpool on Sunday at Emirates Stadium.

The defeat leaves Rafa Benitez’s side well off the pace in ninth. Wenger does not discount them yet but he argues we should know more by the middle of December. By then Chelsea will have visited Old Trafford and entertained Arsenal.

“At the moment Manchester United have a particular advantage,” said Wenger, “but Chelsea have had some impressive scores recently. With the goal difference between the teams it is very tight and it is very, very early as well.

“In a few weeks we will know more. Chelsea play Manchester United and afterwards we play against Chelsea. There are Champions League games in between as well. Once that little marathon is over, the ones who survive this period will be No 1.”
