Arsenal have what it takes to challenge for the title this season, according to Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri.
Ranieri has Leicester riding high in fourth place in the Premier League table, two points ahead of the Gunners, after replacing Nigel Pearson as manager in the summer.
The Gunners have not been crowned champions since their "Invincibles" season of 2003-04, but Ranieri -- who faces Arsene Wenger's team at the King Power Stadium on Saturday -- believes they are primed to be contenders again.
"We are ready but Arsenal are a smart and fast team," Ranieri said. "They are fantastic, good quality and move the ball very well and very quickly. They will fight for the title, they are ready.
"Arsene Wenger can put Alexis Sanchez in goal and Petr Cech up front and Arsenal will still have a great team.
"I don't think they have any weaknesses, but even if they did, I wouldn't tell you."
Ranieri wants his players to play a "perfect match" if they are to continue their fine campaign.
The Foxes have come from behind in their last four league games to maintain their unbeaten start to the season -- the only unblemished record remaining in the top flight.
The last two matches have seen Leicester go two goals down, but they overturned the deficit to beat Aston Villa and managed to salvage a draw against Stoke.
"Coming back from behind might be exciting, but it is not good. I would prefer to get in front and try to stay there," said Ranieri.
"We start well in every match and suddenly we make a mistake. When the opponent scores a fantastic goal, you can say well done, but not when we help them to score a goal.
"It's not easy to score goals when you go behind in matches. I've told the players how important concentration is.
"We must concentrate and be more careful because I think to beat Arsenal we must play the perfect match, and also have some very good luck."
Long-term absentee Matty James aside, the only player expected to be unavailable to Ranieri is Nathan Dyer. The on-loan Swansea winger has missed the last two games with a knee injury.
