Arsenal have acted 'too intense' this season while attempting to mount a title bid against Manchester City, claims Jamie Carragher - who says fans must be fearing the worst after dropping four points at home already.

The Gunners went toe-to-toe with City in last year's title race as they led the Premier League table for 248 days before being overtaken by Pep Guardiola's men, who eventually won the crown by five points.

This season they have started well with four wins from six but find themselves four points adrift of City already having drawn twice at home against Fulham and Tottenham.
