Former French footballer Frank Leboeuf has warned Arsenal not to get carried away with their flying start to the season and insists the Gunners will not win the Premier League title as it will be Chelsea and Manchester City fighting it out for the league.
Arsene Wenger's men have stormed to the top of the table after eight matches, with a two-point lead over Chelsea, and have not lost in all competitions since the opening day of the season until their defeat by Borussia Dortmund at home in the Champions League.
According to Metro.co.uk, former Chelsea defender Leboeuf, a World Cup winner with France in 1998, believes that Arsenal will not stand the pace in the championship and it will be the two other teams fighting it out for the league.
Leboeuf further said that although he does not see Arsenal staying for long without being competition winners, they could not win the Premier League this season.
