Former Sweden international Freddie Ljungberg has maintained that Arsenal remain favourites to win the Premier League title this season.
According to Ljungberg, Mikel Arteta gives the Gunners a “massive advantage” over their rivals.
Arsenal are currently top of the league with 12 points after four rounds of fixtures.
The champions are only ahead of Manchester City on goal difference.
City drew level with Arsenal on points, following a controversial 1-0 win against Manchester United.
Speaking after the derby at Old Trafford, Ljungberg was asked about the title race.
He told Viaplay: “I think Arsenal have a massive advantage of having the same manager for a long time and they know exactly how they want to play.
“It’s going to be tight and, as we’ve seen with Arsenal, they’re tight games, but they’re still winning them and that is so key.
“So 100 per cent, I think Arsenal are the favourites.”
