Do the Gunners have enough to be champions this season?

Alan Brazil feels that Arsenal still might not have enough firepower to go on and win the Premier League title. 

The Gunners fired themselves straight back into title contention with a win over rivals Liverpool earlier this month, and last weekend showed their credentials with a 6-0 thrashing of West Ham. 

Despite hitting the Hammers for six, Brazil remains unconvinced about their forward line and told talkSPORT Bet that he believes the club still need an out-and-out striker to compete for top-spot. 

“My main problem with Arsenal is, who’s going to score the goals?” said Brazil.

“Yes they scored plenty against West Ham, but they still don’t have a proper centre-forward. Defensively and in midfield, they’re great with the likes of Martin Odegaard, who I think is a great player, but they can be a bit predictable.

“The two wingers also look to cut back inside rather than going down the line and you can counter that by bringing a midfielder player back and doubling up on them, then you can show them inside and they’ll have nowhere to go and they’ll have to go backwards. 

“There are still a few issues for Mikel Arteta to sort but there’s no doubt in my mind that they’re in the title race. The wins over Liverpool and West Ham will have been a huge relief and they’ll be pleased to show those who had written them off that they’re not finished yet.”
