Mikel Arteta claims Manchester City remain Premier League favourites with his Arsenal side 'not yet' on their level, despite the Gunners restoring their five point lead in the title race after late Man United win

Mikel Arteta insists Manchester City remain the team to beat in the Premier League title race despite Arsenal's dramatic last-gasp win over Manchester United.

Eddie Nketiah's 90th minute effort secured a euphoric win over Erik ten Hag's improving side to maintain their five point lead over champions City, who beat Wolves earlier in the day.

But Arteta - who has been at pains not to acknowledge Arsenal's position as title favourites - is adamant Pep Guardiola's team, who have won four of the previous five championships, remain a cut above his team.
