Arsenal have been warned that they could still finish behind Manchester United in the Premier League this season despite their strong start.
The Gunners sit top of the table after nine games and are currently nine points ahead of Erik ten Hag's side. Arsenal have only lost one game in all competitions so far this season, coming against United at Old Trafford.
Mikel Arteta has played down talk of a Premier League title challenge this season but his team continue to impress after picking up key victories against Liverpool and Tottenham in recent weeks. The Gunners have arguably one of the easiest fixture schedules leading up to the World Cup next month, but their start to the second half of the season will prove crucial to whether they can maintain their form and fight Manchester City until the end.
