Arsene Wenger relishing Manchester City test

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that he will know more about his side's title chances after facing Manchester City.

The Gunners have been in fine form so far this season and remain unbeaten after they thrashed Southampton 6-1 at the Emirates on Saturday.

The North London outfit meet the Premier League champions next Sunday at the Etihad Stadium, and Wenger says that City will be a tough test.

Speaking on Arsenal's title chances, Wenger said: "We will know that after 10 games, I think we have a chance. But do we develop well, do we keep our attitude? I think we have a chance but at the moment I don't know how strong our opponents are. We've not played against any of the title contenders yet.

"We won the championship in 2004 and we played against Chelsea in November the following season and I finished the game thinking: 'We've just played against the new champions'.

"It will be important to see how we do against the bigger teams. It will be interesting. It will be a test next Sunday but for us the most important part will be to maintain our level of performance that we showed against Southampton and go from game to game."

Arsenal are currently third in the Premier League table.
