Arsene Wenger believes his side can still win the Premier League title even after Sunday's 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea left Arsenal 11 points behind Carlo Ancelotti's table-topping side.

The Gunners do have a game in hand on Chelsea but, such was the visitors' dominance at the Emirates Stadium, that Wenger's side already look out of the title race for another season.

Didier Drogba scored a brace while Thomas Vermaelen also put the ball into his own net as Arsenal lost for the fourth time this season.

However, a defiant Wenger said: "I do not think it is over. We are fighters and we have to show that in the next game.

"The problem we have to face at the moment is people will not believe in us, so we have to make sure that lack of belief does not diminish our own belief.

"That is where we have to be mentally stronger than we were.

"Because until now, we had some credit which we earned at the start of the season from the specialists, then we a lose a game, so now it will be harder.

"We are still in a very strong position. Chelsea can drop points, I am convinced of that.

"I am not in a mood to say straight away after the game that I would buy players (in January).

"We have to deal with and respond to that massive disappointment, and try to win our next game. It is as simple as that."
