Manchester United manager David Moyes is predicting a close battle for the Premier League title after seeing his team beat early pacesetters Arsenal.
United's 1-0 victory at Old Trafford
moved them within five points of the Gunners, while Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham all dropped points.
"I don't think anyone's going to run away with it," said Moyes.
"I think there [will be] a lot of ups and downs. It's a close-run league this year. There will be a few shocks."
United made a stuttering start to the season but are up to fifth in the table after three wins in a row.
Moyes, who succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson in July, is pleased to see
his team settling into some sort of rhythm, but insists there will be
more twists and turns along the way.
"This is another step on the ladder," he said. "We're
improving and getting better, and we hope it will get much, much better
in the coming months and years.
"We have got a lot of big steps to take here and it is going to take me a while to get it all the way I want it to be.
"We are going to get a few bloody noses along the way
but the league has shown that a few other clubs will be getting them as
well.
"But Manchester United were champions last year and there's a lot of
people [who have] written them off very quickly - which is fine - but
hopefully come the end of the season we will not be too far away from
it."
