Jose Mourinho has said that Arsenal need just four top-quality players to become 'Invincible' again.

Speaking after the game on Sunday, Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry said that Arsene Wenger's side were just four players away from winning the Premier League title for the first time since they went unbeaten in 2003-04.

After securing a 0-0 draw at the Emirates, Chelsea are just five points away from winning the fourth title of the Roman Abramovich era. Mourinho told reporters that he agreed with Henry that Arsenal weren't that far away as they have a "phenomenal squad".

"It's even more difficult to dominate than before," said Mourinho. "How can you speak about domination when everyone knows what will happen next summer?

"Arsenal have a phenomenal squad. Thierry Henry said they need four top-class players but give to Arsenal four top-class players and I think they will again be The Invincibles."

Mourinho added that Manchester United also have a "phenomenal squad", with £59.7million Angel Di Maria not even getting into the side, while Manchester City will re-strengthen in the summer.

"Manchester United have a phenomenal squad, including the most expensive player in the history of the Premier League, Angel Di Maria, who is not even playing.

"That shows the quality of the squad. They are a club where Financial Fair Play doesn't make a big difference and they will invest hugely again in the summer.

"City have done phenomenally well, winning two titles in three years and people say they will invest hugely again. Liverpool can be fighting for the title, too.

"It will be even more difficult for everyone than this year. It's very difficult for a team to be dominant. This is not Germany with Bayern Munich. Not Switzerland with Basel. Not Scotland with Celtic. It's very difficult."
