Arsenal 'still main rivals for Blues'

CHELSEA striker Eidur Gudjohnsen insisted that Arsenal will again be his side's main title rivals this season, following their opening victory against Manchester United.

But while Gudjohnsen believes Chelsea can run the Gunners closer than last season, he accepts that their own chances would have been boosted - if Patrick Vieira had moved to Real Madrid.

He declared: "I believe Arsenal will be the main threat for the title once again but hopefully, as we grow as a team, we will be the ones challenging them.
