Manchester United captain Gary Neville says it's too soon to talk about title contenders.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has already identified Chelsea as the main threat to United's bid to land an unprecedented fourth consecutive league title.

Neville is not willing to make such a quick judgement. He is aware Arsenal will draw level with the Old Trafford outfit if they win their game in hand.

In addition, big-spending Manchester City are not that far behind, while he remains wary of old rivals Liverpool, despite their current turmoil.

"It is too early to say where the biggest threats are going to come from," he said. "At the moment Chelsea are the team on top, so they are the ones we are all going for.

"But there are three or four up there who are capable of putting challenges together."
