"Arsenal's" composition is good enough to win the Premier League, says "Sky Sports" channel expert Charlie Nicholas.
After losing the first season match to "West Ham" club, "Arsenal" players managed to gather 10 points in the following four matches.
This Saturday, the "Gunners" will face off against the struggling "Chelsea" players. C. Nicholas believes that the North London club is capable of winning the league.
Their start against "West Ham" was tragic, but then they suddenly started showing good results," the expert said.
The only notable movement for "Arsenal" during the summer transfer window was the acquisition of goalkeeper Petr Cech. A. Wenger's team was the only one out of the top five European leagues last summer that did not acquire a single outfield player. However, despite this, C. Nicholas rates "Arsenal's" composition very highly.
"Maybe they needed to acquire a holding midfielder, but I think this team can win the league," he said.
"In the current situation, the team essentially sets itself up. Per Mertesacker is injured, and he is automatically replaced by Gabriel," he added.
"P. Cech keeps the goal dry, Theo Walcott scored a goal, Olivier Giroud shone after being substituted, so I am satisfied with the composition," insisted C. Nicholas.
Last weekend, T. Walcott scored his first goal of the season, helping his team secure a 2-0 victory over "Stoke City."
The English national team player played in the center-forward position instead of O. Giroud, but C. Nicholas believes that T. Walcott will never be a true "number 9" who plays in that position every week.
"When he is in the team and in good form, it means that defenders have to play a much lower defensive line because Theo scares them with his speed and movement off the ball," he said.
"His game is not only based on speed but also on excellent movement," he added.
"Over many years, he has gotten used to moving from the right, or even left flank, into the center and scoring goals," he concluded.
