Arsenal fullback Gael Clichy insists their title bid is still on-track.
"When you look at the table you see Man United are six points ahead, of course the gap is open a little bit now.
"It will be difficult for us, but we have a great team and great quality. We have to think positive. Maybe if we can win all those seven games then something can happen."
Clichy, 22, added: "We don't have to feel sorry for ourselves.
"We have to go to Bolton on Saturday, win there and try to make something happen. It is going to be difficult, but we have to believe in it. Like the boss says, it is a good opportunity to show everybody the strength in the team. So let's go for it.
"I am sure with a bit of luck and lot of work we can still make it happen."
