Lehmann admits he can't see Manchester City dropping any points over the remainder of the season.

He told the Daily Mail: "He's (Mikel Arteta's) done a good job but unfortunately, you're talking to a guy who loves Arsenal, wants them to win and not just to be up there. I was very disappointed with how they lost to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

"Afterwards, they showed a great reaction beating Chelsea and Tottenham. But to be a big club, you have to win trophies.

"They're very different to us (Invincibles) in their approach - much more cautious and slower with the ball. Physically, they run a lot more and have more high-intensity runs but they don't play faster than us because we were a one-touch team. They all take three, four touches at a time. And if you're too cautious in football, you can't win trophies. Most of the time, the bravest teams win the league. I would love them to win the title but that has cost them in certain games.

"It's 20 years since we won the league and I hope Arsenal win but it's not in their own hands anymore and that's a weakness."
