Arsenal drew with Manchester United on Saturday afternoon.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger walks off at half time
Pundit Gary Neville has claimed on Sky Sports he does not think he is seeing title winners when he watches Arsenal.
After losing their first game of the season to Liverpool, the Gunners have rallied this season and are currently 11 games unbeaten in the league.
That has seen them mounting a strong challenge for the title alongside the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
They have disappointed in their last two games, though, only managing to secure draws against both Tottenham and Manchester United.
It is against those type of teams that Arsenal need to win to prove they are genuine contenders and Neville says he does not see a title winning team when he watches Arsene Wenger’s side.
“I didn’t get the impression today [against United] watching Arsenal that we were watching a team that would go on and win the Premier League,” he told Sky Sports.
“That is just how I feel in this moment. I watched them earlier in the season against Liverpool and I watched the game against Tottenham – I didn’t feel I was watching champions.”

The pressure is now on Arsenal to prove they are genuine contenders for the title this season.
They may have disappointed in their last two games but they are still just two points behind joint leaders Liverpool and Manchester City.
With a run of very winnable fixtures ahead of them, that means they are still in a strong position and must prove that they are serious title challengers with a run of wins over the Christmas period.
