Wenger admits Chelsea look unstoppable as Arsenal boss gives up on title race

Arsène Wenger has effectively surrendered the Premier League title to Chelsea just 11 games into the season.

The Gunners are 12 points behind the Blues following Sunday’s 2-1 defeat at Swansea and Wenger does not appear to hold out much hope of catching the leaders.

Jose Mourinho’s men are currently four points clear at the top of the Premier League, with Saturday’s 2-1 win at Liverpool maintaining their unbeaten start to the campaign.

“Look at the season and Chelsea are on course for 105 points," Wenger said.

"Look at the number of points they have today and if they keep that up nobody will touch them, that's for sure.

"It doesn't look like anybody is capable of challenging them at the moment.

"There's no obvious reason, but they have had a good start and as long as you don't lose you don't question yourself.

"Maybe a little bit more extra spirit in the team helps them when it gets tight."
