Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has claimed that he and his teammates are good enough to "hurt" their opponents in the race for the Premier League title this season.
Arsene Wenger's side finished the 2014-15 campaign strongly by winning the FA Cup and claiming third in the table.
"Hopefully we can get off to a good start this season and put ourselves in a great position early on, and we know we have the players and the quality to hurt other teams and get points," Ramsey told Sky Sports News.
"There is no question about our ability, but it's about whether we can keep everyone fit and I am fairly confident we can. Chelsea were top mainly all the way through, they hardly slipped up and that is what we have to try and do."
Arsenal will take on Chelsea in the FA Community Shield at Wembley on August 2.
