Arsene Wenger says Arsenal are not ready to challenge for the Premier League title this season.

The Gunners are just a point behind Manchester City in third, with Liverpool on top with an eight point lead.

And Wenger believes it is too early for Unai Emery's side to challenge their rivals.

"At the moment you can't look too much at the position because the points difference is very small," he said. "You draw, you're seventh; you win a game, you're third.

"I don't think [they can challenge for the title] at the moment on what I've seen. Liverpool are too far ahead for everybody else.

"Manchester City looks to have the best potential to fight against Liverpool, but as long as you are not too far away, you can hope."
