Former Arsenal defender William Gallas optimistically assessed the club's chances of winning the Premier League title next season.
According to the Frenchman, there is one condition. And that is not the replacement of coach Arsene Wenger.
"If Arsenal does not qualify for the Champions League, they will play fewer matches - just look at what Chelsea are doing right now," Gallas said.
"The Blues" do not play in this tournament, confidently lead in England and have a great season.
Therefore, I could say that in this case, Arsenal could triumph in the Premier League," said Gallas.
"I think it will be very difficult for them to even take fourth place this season, but anything can happen in football.
"But maybe that will turn out to be an advantage?" the Frenchman said.
Currently, the Gunners are in eighth place in the English Premier League, trailing by 7 points from fourth place.
