Petr Cech: Why Arsenal can finish above Chelsea, Man United, City and Liverpool

<section class="text-description">
    The goalkeeper joined the Gunners last month for £10m after 11 years at Chelsea in which he won 13 major trophies.<br />
However,
 the Czech Republic international has revealed he has found the 
atmosphere in his new dressing room similar to the one he left behind at
 Stamford Bridge.<br />

And
 Cech believes Wenger's happiness at having a large squad compared to 
Chelsea and their other title rivals could prove key in the final 
run-in.</section>

The Spanish goalkeeper was the most high-profile absentee from the 26-strong squad of players who flew to Seattle on Monday at the start of the trip.</div>
<div style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It has emerged Valdes is not injured and, according to a senior source at the club, was simply "not selected" for the four-game tour, which kicks off on Friday night with a match against Mexico City side Club America.</div>
<div style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Former Barcelona star Valdes has been linked with a move to Antalyaspor of Turkey, but United insist there is no likelihood of that deal going ahead, although they are open to offers from other clubs.</div>
<div style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; color: #2c2c2c; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But the absence of Valdes from the tour and his expected departure, coupled with the ongoing uncertainty over first-choice keeper David De Gea's future, has increased the pressure on United to recruit a goalkeeper of some stature.</div>
