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 are a lots 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.
.
Robin van Persie's first-half header against his former club helped United leapfrog City, who lost 1-0 at Sunderland, and Tottenham, who went down at home to Newcastle by the same score.
.
Fourth-placed Chelsea, who needed a last-minute penalty to draw 2-2 at home with West Brom, are just one point above United.
.
Moyes, who succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson in July, is pleased to see his team settling into some 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 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."
