Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former France defender William Gallas has agreed with ex-Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho that Arsenal do not have the squad depth to win the Premier League title this season.<\/p>\n

The Gunners led the way for 248 days last campaign but collapsed in the final weeks, allowing Manchester City to win it for a third successive year.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have yet to win the domestic crown since 2003\u201304.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta\u2019s men will be at the top of the table at Christmas for the second year running if they beat Liverpool at the weekend.<\/p>\n

However, Gallas is still not convinced his former club will go all the way.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Lord Ping, he said: \u201cAs I said before, it will be difficult for Arsenal to win the Premier League. They have improved from last season for sure. It will be a nice story if they win as the last time was 20 years ago so it will be a great story.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it will be difficult; even if Man City don\u2019t look good at the moment, they drew against Palace at home. Liverpool drew and Aston Villa are one behind, but I think they will drop off as they don\u2019t have the squad to fight until May.\u201d<\/p>\n
