Former England midfielder Jermaine Jenas has tipped Arsenal to be Chelsea's main challengers for the Premier League title this season.

Last term, the Gunners, who finished third, were 12 points adrift of Jose Mourinho's champions.

However, as the two sides battle it out in today's Community Shield at Wembley, Jenas has insisted that they will be the "closest rivals" for the main prize this time around.

"Psychologically a win here is great for the new season. I think these two teams will be the closest rivals for the Premier League title and there's a real sense of anticipation around the ground today. It's almost like an FA Cup final," he told BBC Sport.

Arsenal last won the league title back in 2004.
