William Gallas believes Arsenal remain the team to beat in the Premier League title race, but he does not expect Brighton to maintain their current form and challenge the Gunners until the end of the season. Despite the Seagulls being among the teams closest to Arsenal in the table, the former defender believes the title battle will involve just two clubs.It has been an interesting campaign, with Arsenal working hard to establish themselves at the top of the Premier League. Mikel Arteta’s men have produced several impressive performances and secured important victories as they look to maintain their position and finally win the title.Their recent victory over Liverpool at Anfield further demonstrated their ability to compete in difficult matches. Meanwhile, traditional title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City have struggled to maintain the consistency expected of them during the campaign.Brighton face a difficult challengeBrighton’s performances have made them one of the more interesting teams in the Premier League this season. The Seagulls have remained competitive and are currently among the closest challengers to Arsenal in the standings.However, maintaining that level throughout an entire campaign is a different challenge, particularly when the pressure increases during the second half of the season. Brighton will need to demonstrate that they have the consistency and quality required to remain in contention.Gallas recognises their impressive performances but appears unconvinced that they can sustain their challenge for the title.

Arsenal will therefore need to maintain their consistency and avoid unnecessary setbacks if they are to stay ahead in the title race. Brighton may continue to impress, but Gallas does not consider them serious title contenders at this stage._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
