Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has dismissed Manchester City's slump in form as a "bump" and insisted they remain serious Premier League title contenders this season.
"What I've made of it is what they've done for nine years," Arteta said. "Everybody has a bump. For them it's very strange because in nine years they never had it. Everything has to be perfect and things have to go your way."
Arsenal face West Ham on Saturday, while City face a tough test away to Liverpool on Sunday.
