Arsenal can win the Premier League title this season if they avoid an injury crisis, Mesut Ozil believes.
Arsene Wenger's men have not won England's top honour for over a decade and have struggled to put together credible challenges for the crown in recent years.
Despite only signing goalkeeper Petr Cech in the summer transfer window, Arsenal are still confident they can battle for the title this term and Ozil feels the key to doing so is avoiding injuries.
Wenger's men have often found their campaign derailed through injury problems and Ozil wants the Gunners to steer well clear this term.
"We have a great team with many world-class players", the Germany international told Bild.

"Our goal is to win the Premier League.
"I think that this season it is feasible if all stay fit.
"But the season is long."
Arsenal laid down a marker in the Premier League at the weekend by swatting away Louis van Gaal's Manchester United 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium; the Red Devils went into the weekend sitting on top of the table.
Ozil's side are also teetering on the brink of a Champions League group stage exit after losing their opening two matches. Being knocked out of the Champions League may allow the Gunners to focus all their energies on the Premier League.
