Epl: Arteta Reveals Team He Expected To Be Title Contenders This Season

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has said he expected Chelsea to be Premier League title "contenders" this season.

The two teams meet this Sunday at the Emirates Stadium, with the Gunners currently second in the table and the Blues six points behind in fourth place.

However, the prospect of either Arsenal or Chelsea catching leaders Liverpool, who are 15 points clear at the top, are very slim.

The realistic aim now for both London teams is to ensure they finish in Champions League spots.

But Arteta has claimed he expected more from Chelsea under Enzo Maresca this term.
