Wilshere: Gunners are in title race
Jack Wilshere believes Arsenal are firmly in the title race, despite the Gunners slipping seven points behind pacesetters Chelsea.[LNB] Arsene Wenger's side are currently sitting in fourth position in the Premier League and are seven points behind their London rivals.[LNB]The Gunners' 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge before the international break has left the north London giants with some catching up to do.[LNB]However, Wilshere believes the champions will eventually slip up and he is confident Arsenal can take advantage when they do.[LNB]Wilshere told the club's official website: "It's still early days, we're definitely still in it.[LNB]"I know we are seven points behind, but I think Chelsea will definitely drop points and we've just got to capitalise when they do.[LNB]"Hopefully there aren't too many injuries (ahead for us) but if there are we've got a big squad and we can cope."[LNB]The 18-year-old disagrees with suggestions that Wenger's side only have one way to play against physical teams such as Chelsea.[LNB]"I don't think that's true (that Arsenal cannot beat Chelsea)," he said.[LNB]"You saw we dominated the game for long periods but we just didn't take our chances.[LNB]"A couple of games before that we scored six, so it was just one of those days.[LNB]"In football it's what you do on the ball, but also make sure that when you haven't got the ball that you defend well.[LNB]"Obviously Chelsea have got some good players and they showed that on the day."
