Alan Shearer does not believe Arsenal are title contenders despite their superb start to the season. 'It’s not time to talk about them as title contenders yet, but people now know that this is a different Arsenal to the team we saw just 13 months ago.'
“The Gunners’ 3-0 win at Brentford on Sunday epitomised their progress under Mikel Arteta, because we all remember what happened in this fixture on the opening weekend of last season – when the Bees didn’t just beat them, they bullied them.
“This Gunners side is not only bigger and stronger, it is also more committed. They were better in every department and dominated right from the start. Shearer continued: “Only four of the Arsenal team who started that defeat against Brentford began Sunday’s game too – Ben White, Kieran Tierney, Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Martinelli.
“This time, they have won six out of their first seven league games and go into the international break at the top of the table. They deserve it too.”
