Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal rarely see eye-to-eye or agree on similar things, but today, both of their managers have revealed they believe that this year’s title race will be closer than ever before.
The Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, admitted that he sees six-teams challenging for the title and Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has admitted that with Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea all dropping points, anybody could win this year’s title.
‘It looks that way,’ the Portuguese said when asked if he thought the title race was open.
‘There is no team on maximum points again. The champions are at the moment struggling for points, although they have gone through a calendar that no-one has gone through yet.
‘Manchester City lost points at Cardiff and drew at Stoke, so there have been some surprising results.
‘We, after Saturday, can end up being with two defeats and it could be the same for Chelsea, so it looks like it is going to have that pattern for the rest of the season.’
