Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has given one major reason why Mikel Arteta’s side won’t win the Premier League title this season.
Arsenal failed to win the Premier League title last season as they finished in second position behind champions Manchester City.
This season, the Gunners currently sit in second position behind leaders Man City after four matches.
However, Petit feels Arsenal would fall short of the English top-flight title again because of their lack of squad depth amidst a new 36-team UEFA Champions League campaign.
“City started poorly [last year], and they were missing big players during the season, but they won the title,” Petit told talkSPORT.
“I’m not sure that can be possible for Arsenal in terms of quality and quantity of players. That’s what I have been worried about for ages, the rotation of the team.
“Now they are back in the Champions League again. Playing every single three days, international duty as well with your country, that means you need to get rotation in your team.
“When you get important players injured, what is the solution for Arteta? He’s got players, but not in the same position and who cannot bring the same qualities on the pitch.”
