Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal can claim the Premier League title next season by playing an 'expansive' brand of football.

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea won this season's premiership by keeping things tight at the back when necessary and playing flowing football only on occasion but Wenger suggests that his style is good enough to overcome all other 19 teams in England's top flight.

"Yes. Why not? We have done it before. Manchester United have won it playing that way. Plenty of teams have done it," said Wenger to the press.

"It's not necessarily the type of game you play, it is how well you play it. For example, you don't question Barcelona about the way they play football.

"But when they started this way you questioned: 'Are they not too naive?' But when they win you don't question it, of course."

But Wenger was not completely brazen in his analysis of the Gunners, suggesting that at times he would need to alter things dependent on the game at hand.

"You cannot play 38 games in the same convincing style," he added.

"You need to have a balance in your team so that if you are not at level of fluency you can still win the game.

"Then most of the time it is the individual talent that prevails.

"What you can do as a manager is improve the collective style of your team."
