Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny believes that the Gunners can win the Premier League title this season if they can produce their best form more consistently.

The Gunners are currently placed second in the league, behind Manchester City only on goal difference, and French defender Koscielny has high hopes for the remainder of the campaign.

When asked if this could be Arsenal's year in the Premier League, the Koscielny told the club's official website: "It could be. If we can reproduce regularly the first 20 minutes from the Manchester United game, yes we can have the ambition of being champions. But if we play like against Olympiacos, we won't even finish in the top four.

"We have a good squad, a lot of quality. We need to be consistent, though, to win the league. It's a marathon. Every weekend, we have tough games.

"We need to have the same desire and ambition in each of them, even if we know we can't be at our best all the time. But we need to be solid defensively and efficient offensively to win 1-0 when we're not at our best."
