Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has welcomed comments from Manchester United rival Sir Alex Ferguson that he'd like to see the Gunners win the title ahead of Chelsea.

He said: "We take it with a lot of respect. But we are not naive. It will be interesting this year like it was last year. I will watch the Chelsea v Man United game with a lot of curiosity. Chelsea had a good start, Man United had a difficult start like last year. But you know they will wake up and most of the time they'll wake up in a big game. This is a big game."
