Former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas believes they can win the Premier League this season.
The Gunners enjoyed a memorable 1-0 win over Manchester City in the top flight on Sunday.
Having not beaten City in the league for many years, Fabregas believes their long title wait since 2004 may come to an end this term as well.
Fabregas told Premier League Productions: "It will just bring more positivity.
"I know how much they want to win the Premier League. I have been at the training ground recently and I know that they are waiting. I can smell it. They working towards that moment in a very passionate way.
"They are doing everything in every way to make this happen. With this young group, with the energy, the passion, the quality and the hunger they are showing each week. I think it's closer than it has ever been for the last 12-15 years."
