Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is convinced Premiership leaders Arsenal will suffer a blip.
He told Manchester United Radio: "Arsenal are playing well, but it's a long season and they know that, too. They will drop points, there's no doubt about that."
United could have been level at the top of the table with Arsenal had they not failed to beat Bolton 10 days ago and Ferguson admitted: "We'd like to be three points better off.
"If we hadn't lost to Bolton then we would have been in a great position."
