Mikel Arteta believes Manchester United can challenge for the Premier League title under Ruben Amorim if they can improve their form. After 13 games, Liverpool leads by nine points from Arsenal, with defending champions Manchester City in fifth place due to a poor run of form. The Gunners face United at the Emirates on Wednesday night
When asked if a title charge at Old Trafford is possible this season, Arteta replied: ‘I don’t know. We’re still extremely early in the season.
‘Any side that can string together five or six wins in a row will be there because the competition is so fierce, as you see every week. How the teams struggle to keep winning, winning, winning. So, everything is possible.
Closing a 15-point gap on Liverpool would be a tall order for United, with City also falling behind at this stage, 11 points behind Arne Slot’s team following their defeat at Anfield on Sunday.
‘This is a team capable of turning things around and winning repeatedly. So don’t rule them out; we know their excellence.
Chelsea are also firmly in the title fight, with a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa putting them in third place, level on points with Arsenal.
With Arsenal and United in action at the Emirates, Chelsea travels to Southampton on Wednesday, while Liverpool travels to Newcastle United.
Manchester City are also in play on Wednesday night, visiting Nottingham Forest.
