Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has banished premature talk of Arsenal winning the title - claiming it would not be legitimate to do so before April or May.
Arsenal currently lead Manchester City at the top of the Premier League by seven points - looking to stretch that to 10 against Newcastle on Tuesday evening.
Speaking to Sky Sports News ahead of Tuesday's unlikely top of the table clash, Neville, who won eight Premier League titles with Manchester United, praised Mikel Arteta's young side but offered the rather sobering caveat that the Premier League is not yet even at its halfway stage.
