Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has warned the rest of the Premier League that the Gunners will not be bullied out of the title race this season.

The north London club lost 2-1 to title rivals Manchester United in their last game before the international break but Fabregas has been buoyed by the ability of his team-mates to compete physically.

The Gunners have often been accused of having a soft centre and being bullied out of games.

"It hurts to lose in that way, but we were denied many opportunities and it was a very physical game - maybe too physical - but we showed that we will not be bullied by anybody," said the Spain midfielder.

"Clubs try not to let us play our style of football and some use questionable tactics, but we will not be intimidated by anyone.

"We have made a good start and we can go on to do good things this season.

"I am sure we will win something soon."
