Arsene Wenger has claimed that Manchester United do not 'dominate' games like Arsenal despite being 16 points ahead of the Gunners.
United have won nine of their 26 Premier League games this season by a 1-0 scoreline and a developing a reputation for doing just enough to win matches.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have won just four games 1-0 this season and have drawn their last four games 0-0.
"It's a fine line," said Wenger. "I have watched Man United get an opening here and there and they are a great side. But I don't feel they dominate the games like we do.
"The trophies flow in for them at the moment so it's all natural for them. Winning everything is not realistic because it has not been done yet.
"But for them it is still possible, so you have to consider that they could be the first team to do it. But I still believe it is a bit early to say that."
Arsenal face West Brom on Tuesday night with the chance to move within three points of fourth-placed Aston Villa.
Martin O'Neill's men missed the chance to go eight points clear when they threw away a two-goal lead at home to Stoke last weekend.
"Stoke's comeback was a very big surprise," said Wenger. "I think Villa have lost a big opportunity to put us eight points behind and we want to take advantage of that.
"At the moment, there is pressure on Villa, on us and everybody. Maybe not only Villa are catchable."
