​Cech talks up Arsenal as title contenders

Arsenal keeper Petr Cech still believes the Gunners League title chances are back on track after they climbed back into the top four with a late victory at Burnley on Sunday.

"We need to play game by game and not think too much about what's going on around us because the only way is if you win your game you give yourself a chance, so this is what we have in our mind," he said.

"We win our game and let's see how the others are going. The teams at this moment who are above us, if they keep going and keep winning, then you can't catch them, but you need to make sure that you win your game first and then let's see what will happen.

"There are so many games to be played and so many points to play for and you don't reach your goals after 13 games, you need to carry on for 30 games, with consistency obviously.

"There can be plenty of twists in the table as well because you win two games in a row you climb up and you can draw and fall out of the top four, so it will go pretty quick and is very packed up there and will be I think until the end of the season."
