We may be only four games into the Premier League season but ArsèneWenger is already predicting a “very tight and very interesting”campaign in which the champions will have to amass another high pointstally.
Arsenal finished with an impressive 83 points last term but it wasonly good enough for third place, four points behind Manchester Unitedand Chelsea.
With the likes of Manchester City and Tottenhaminvesting heavily over the summer, Wenger feels there is more pressurethan ever on the so-called ‘Big Four’. As a result he predicts thetitle will once again go down to the wire.
“This season you will need a high number of points and you will haveto be consistent,” said Wenger. “I don’t know how many we’ll need, askme again in January then we will have a better idea.
“But you might have a surprising team coming in to challenge likeMan City, Tottenham and maybe Portsmouth. It will certainly be verytight and very interesting.
“Last season, I feel we did not get enough credit for what we did.We were very close. We made 83 points in the League and I have won thetitle with 78 before. But the competition was very high last season andlooks like it will be the same this season.”
