Fulham captain Cairney dismisses Arsenal as title contenders

Fulham captain Tom Cairney doesn't see Arsenal as title contenders.

While impressed by the Gunners' win against Liverpool on Sunday, Cairney says they're a step behind the Reds and Manchester City.

He told The Players' Channel: "I think performance-wise they were better this season than last season, to be honest.

"I think that game at the weekend was huge for Arsenal, I think that's why the celebrations were so big. In my opinion, if they had lost that game I don't think they would have had much chance of catching Liverpool.

"I can't see them losing three or four more games until the end of the season with the squad they have got, it's frightening. So I think you could tell how big it was for Arsenal. Arsenal will be up there but I think it's Liverpool or Man City."
