Former Arsenal star Aleksandr Hleb insists his old club are still capable of winning the Premier League.

The Gunners returned to the top of table after victory over Chelsea last night. However, Manchester City will retake the leadership by beating West Ham on Wednesday.

Hleb told Metaratings: “The Premier League is very unpredictable, you can lose points against anyone. It cannot be said that Arsenal relaxed, in the end they lacked something.

"Manchester City are in such shape that it's hard to stop them. Now it will be difficult, everything is fine, if there is a little luck, then it is possible. Everything will be decided in the last matches, you need to wait for the misfires of the opposition and score your points.

"Manchester City are a very experienced and stable team. This happens in England, you have to be mentally prepared and squeeze the maximum out of every game and take your three points. I don't think that Arsenal have given up, it's just that the championship is very difficult, every opponent against top clubs is tuned very seriously."
