Ian Wright believes Arsenal will win the Premier League this season after the Gunners addressed three problem areas - and Roy Keane agrees.

Speaking on The Overlap podcast, former United captain Gary Neville asked Arsenal icon Wright whether Arteta's team could finally capture their first title since 2004.

Beforehand however, he listed the trio of problems that Arsenal now seem to have dealt with, with the north London side now having players fit, while having brought in Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad and the free-scoring Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP.

Neville, speaking to Wright, said: "Last season, three problems - injuries to [Bukayo] Saka and [Kai] Havertz obviously caused big problems, obviously you have to keep players fit.

"You had a problem in midfield and you've got Zubimendi come in and you had a problem up top, with presence really, and Gyokeres has come in.

You look at the fact that [Arsenal] were 17 goals behind Liverpool [last season] but defensively we're brilliant.

"So if we can sort that out, and this mid-block [problem] then yeah, I'm going to go for Arsenal again, of course I am, because absolutely, why wouldn't I?"

He continued: "What's good about us as well is the [contract] renewals.

Gabriel, Ethan [Nwaneri], and for [Arsenal sporting director, Andrea] Berta to come in, and he's unbelievable when you meet him, Berta's done the deals, he's got it done."

With caveats, Keane agreed with Wright, suggesting that Arsenal really have solved their issues, saying: "Yeah, I'm going with Arsenal," before warning that Liverpool's ability to score under pressure could still be the deciding factor.

"The only thing, and I'll go back to Liverpool, and Liverpool on a bad day, when they're off they can score three goals," he said.

Speaking at the end of last season, Arteta admitted that it hurt to watch Liverpool celebrate their second title in five years.

He also hinted at the factors that prevented Arsenal from finally reaching the promised land for the first time in 21 years.
