Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen is unsure if the Gunners can last the distance in this seasons title race. Arsenal are at the top of the Premier League after ten games and have a five point lead over second-placed Chelsea. The Gunners have also beaten Spurs in their opening ten games, and their current nine-match unbeaten run has prompted talk of Arsenal finally winning some silverware this season. However, Vertonghen feels that there is a long way to go in the Premier League, and although he believes that the North London club has a stronger squad, they will fail to last the distance. Its too early to call Arsenal the title contender, the Belgian international told TV station Telenet. The only thing you can say is that theyre stronger than last season. They have a stronger squad, can play different systems and have a great bunch of creativity in their midfield. Although I expect still a lot from Manchester City. Spurs lie in fourth-place after their goaless draw with Everton on Sunday at Goodison Park. The Lilywhites have scored only nine goals in the league so far, but the Belgium international is pleased with Spurs defensive record this term. Defensively our team is strong, he added. We had a clean sheet in 12 of 16 games. We only played one bad game: against West Ham. -Tim (admin)
