Arsene Wenger said Manchester City can match his "Invincibles" team by going through the entire Premier League season unbeaten.

"Why not? It can happen, but there is still a long way to go," Wenger told a news conference on Friday. "At the moment I think everything goes for them inside the games, but maybe as well they have the quality to turn it in their favor."

Wenger, however, said City has more spending power than Arsenal due to their Abu Dhabi-based ownership.

"Look, we had no petrol but ideas, they have petrol and ideas, so that makes it more efficient," Wenger said, when comparing this City side to his team.

Asked what he meant by "petrol," the Arsenal boss added: "They have resources... Money and quality is what I wanted to say, and in their management and players they have everything that is needed to be successful. It's still not easy, they still have to respect that achievement."
