NORWICH: Arene Wenger remains confident Arsenal can shake off their inconsistent form and mount a serious challenge for the Premier League title.
Wenger's side will attempt to bounce back from last weekend's surprise loss at West Bromwich Albion when they travel to Norwich City on Sunday, five days after keeping alive their hopes of reaching the Champions League knockout stages with vital victory over Dinamo Zagreb.
With their European campaign on the back-burner for two weeks, fourth-placed Arsenal can focus on catching unexpected top-tier leaders Leicester City.
Wenger believes that, with no one team dominating the title race so far, his side are still well placed in their bid to be crowned English champions for the first time since 2004.
"It is so tight and I don't even look at the league anymore because it is very, very tight," Wenger said.
"Last week we had a bad result against West Brom and so did Manchester City (against Liverpool) so it compacted the whole table.
"I believe it is a big opportunity for us but many teams can tell you that. We are in a position where you want to be after 13 games but there are 25 to go.
"If there are five or six to go and we are in the race, of course we are contenders. I think we have a chance but it is very early.
"I know people always want to know what will happen in the future but let's take care of the game on Sunday."
Arsenal's frustration at losing to West Brom was compounded by the fact they took the lead through Olivier Giroud.
