Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany believes Arsenal and Chelsea will compete with City for the Premier League crown. The weekend showdown at the Etihad Stadium with Chelsea was billed as the battle of the big hitters but Kompany believes Arsenal, who are one point better off than City and four off top spot, are ready to make it a scrap at the summit.
"It is not fair to call it at the moment," said Kompany.
"First of all we are not even close to Chelsea yet (in the table). Secondly, I have seen good things from Chelsea but I have seen maybe better things from Arsenal so I guess it will all be about consistency and, with the Champions League, it will get messy around December.
"It is too early to call. Five points is nothing but (Chelsea) have five points more than us, it is as simple as that.
"But it will get messy in December and January as it always does - or at least the last six years I have been here it has."
