Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup believes that Arsenal lack the consistency to compete for the Premier League title.

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has insisted that Arsenal need to learn how to win games when they aren't playing well before they can be considered challengers for the Premier League title.

The Danish boss takes Swansea to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday as they look to overtake the Gunners in the Premier League table.

Laudrup has dismissed the possibility of Arsenal overcoming Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea.

When asked if Arsenal could win the Premier League, Laudrup said: "No. Not because they have dropped points but because I think the title is only between the two Manchester clubs and Chelsea, and at the moment the Manchester clubs have the advantage in terms of points and momentum.

"The Manchester sides are very strong, they win tough games. Look at Manchester City at Wigan. It was a difficult game, it was 0-0 for a long time, and then they get two goals and three points and head home.

"They are very solid and win games when they are not playing well."

Arsenal are already 12 points behind leaders Manchester United in the Premier League table.
