Arsenal legend Sol Campbell has said that the Gunners' best chance of winning the Premier League is this season.

With all of the other contenders dropping points and champions Chelsea hovering just one point above the relegation, the 41-year-old believes this Gunners squad have their best chance of securing the title since he won it with The Invincibles in 2004 is this term.

Campbell, speaking exclusively to 888sport.com ahead of Arsenal's match against Manchester City, said:

“I’d love them to do it but I don’t like tipping people too early. But if they are going to have a chance to win it’s definitely going to be this year. Sometimes opportunity knocks and they are responding. The best chance they’ve got is this year.”

“City have the bigger squad and when injuries kick in they will have depth. That’s the only thing that could halt Arsenal – the depth of City’s squad. When everyone is getting tired come February they’ll have impact players who can come on and make a difference. That’s the only thing I’m worried about.”
