Arsenal title favourites – poll

Arsenal legends… Tony Adams and Patrick Vieira with the Premier League crown.
By NIGEL BENSON

Arsenal are the fans’ favourites to win the Premier League after an emphatic start to the 2009-10 season.
The majority of Goal.com readers believe Arsenal will win the English Premier League at the end of the season, followed by Chelsea and defending champions Man Utd.
While many fans believed pre-season that Arsenal could struggle this season, after the 49 million euro sale of Kolo Toure and Emmanual Adebayor to Man City, the red hot team from N5 has hit the ground running.
An opening day away 6-1 win against Everton (the biggest opening day away victory since 1994), was followed by a 2-0 win over Celtic and 4-1 rout of Portsmouth.
And that was reflected in the Goal.com readers poll, which showed 31.65% think Arsenal will win their first league crown since the “Invincibles” season of 2003-04.
Conversely, only 1.27% of readers believed the Man City revolution would result in any silverware this season, while the Xabi Alonso-less Liverpool were backed by only 8.86%.
Defending champions Man United and Chelsea were jointly the second favourites with
29.11% votes each.
The results were:
Arsenal  31.65%
Chelsea  29.11%
Man Utd  29.11%
Liverpool  8.87%
Man City  1.27%
