On the eve of another season, approaching his 20th anniversary in charge of Arsenal, Arsene Wenger is more optimistic than ever about his next title challenge. Arsenal have not won the league for 12 years, but Wenger still speaks like a man whose vindication is just around the corner.

Arsenal play Liverpool on Sunday afternoon and will be without their three best centre-backs, their two best midfielders and their two best strikers. They have signed just one senior player this summer, Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka.

And yet at his press conference on Friday morning Wenger was relaxed and confident. He believes that, having finished second last season, Arsenal have a better chance than ever of winning the title back.

SECOND HALF KICK-OFF: It's all square as Arsenal begin the second half, and incredibly - inexplicably - there have been no changes on either side. That means Alberto Moreno is still out on the pitch, and that I'll be watching the rest of this game through my fingers in the same vein that I first watched the David Brent dance episode of The Office all those years ago.
