Everton boss Dave Moyes has dismissed claims of Arsenal's decline.

He said: "I think people think that [they are in decline] because you normally see Arsenal in the top one or two and right on the tails of the top teams. I think people are thinking they are not as close as they were in the past.

"But I think Arsene Wenger is still thinking about winning the Premier League and he thinks they still have a chance so it is still a very strong Arsenal team.

"They have talented individuals and we don't need to remind our players of that and how good Arsenal can be.

"On their day and given time and space they can be very fluent and open you up."
