Emmanuel Petit does not believe Arsenal can compete with Manchester City for the title despite their sensational start to the campaign.
The Gunners recorded their eighth win in nine games as they saw off Liverpool at the Emirates on Sunday. Their form has surprised many fans, with Mikel Arteta's young side getting the better of neighbours Tottenham the week before. All that has led to talk of the north Londoners being potential champions in the making.
That would be a huge leap for a side which finished fifth last season, although shrewd recruitment has seem them evolve massively over the summer. Petit, who won the league and cup double with Arsenal in 1998, still thinks that City will be too much for the Gunners as they target a third consecutive domestic crown.
