Injured Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas has revealed how his team cannot win this season's title.

Fabregas has conceded the title, saying it is not realistic for the Gunners to win.

"It is not realistic to look at the league title now. You can never say never of course, but at the moment we would not be intelligent to be looking right to the top of the league," the Spaniard said.

"To be intelligent now is to go game by game and think about who is directly in front of us.

"Now we have to make sure we put a run of wins together and don't lose more points.

"Chelsea and Aston Villa will drop points, of that I am sure, and that is why we need to be ready to capitalise at the right time - just as Manchester United have waited half a season for Liverpool to lose some points and taken advantage of it.

"We need to be sure that we take the chances we will get to go above them because it is really important for next season."
