Former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson admits he's in "awe" of the current Premier League leaders.

Wilson says he's excited by what he's witnessing.

He told BBC Sport: "I wake up in the morning of a game and it's as if I'm still playing, I'm nervous before the game, I'm nervous during the game and then maybe afterwards I'm celebrating on the way home.

"It was extraordinary and it is extraordinary what we are seeing.

"I think even the unbiased football fan what they have been seeing so far has been exciting, entertaining, exhilarating, it's just been exciting.

"You look at the age of this side and how they are playing and how they are performing without the huge backing that Man City, Newcastle and Man United have where they're able to get the money, it's just amazing.

"Never have I witnessed the crowd and the fans, who pay a lot of money as you know to go and watch, and that support at that moment is absolutely part of this success as it stands.

"Of course they've only played 19 games, there are 19 to go, that's 57 points that are still up for grabs.

"This is way from finished, it's incredibly exciting and very good for the football world generally. The book is only halfway read.

"You think of how close Manchester City could be and how close everything is at the top of the league, I think it will go down to the wire.

"I'm just in awe and privileged to see what I am seeing."
