Roy Keane believes Arsenal can finally win the Premier League title following their summer transfer window. The Gunners brought in Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres, all four immediately slotting into the starting XI.
Christian Norgaard, Cristhian Mosquera, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Piero Hincapie also joined to bolster options further. Max Dowman is now eligible for first-team matches this campaign after age restrictions blocked the 15-year-old last season.
Following their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield before the September international break, Arsenal face another examination of their championship credentials when they host Manchester City. Speaking ahead of that fixture, Keane analysed their title prospects on Sky Sports.

“If you’re looking at both squads, you’re thinking Arsenal probably are going to be the nearest rivals to Liverpool. A big pressure, even today, you think a draw; a draw wouldn’t even be great for Arsenal.
“They certainly have the players and all the capabilities of beating City. Over the last few years, every time I’ve seen City at Arsenal, in terms of trying to win the league title, I’ve never felt Arsenal had enough, had enough strength in depth, obviously lacked that striker.
“I look at Arsenal’s group of players now… I think they certainly have the players capable of winning the league.”
Keane’s fellow pundit Micah Richards later claimed they would not write Man City off if they lost, but the Irishman interjected: “You will have to if they lose. Liverpool only lost four [matches] last season, so if you lose three [times] already into September…”
