Nasri eyeing title challenge with improving Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri admits they're now eyeing a serious title challenge.

After a weekend of results that went well for Arsenal, Nasri and his team-mates now find themselves just two points adrift of leaders Chelsea despite losing home games against West Brom and Newcastle already this term.

"It was an excellent weekend for us," said Nasri.

"Chelsea and Liverpool lost, Manchester United and Manchester City drew.

"It leaves us in a good position, just behind Chelsea, which is quite exciting for us and the league as a whole.

"Having done so well, now we must look ahead to what will be a very difficult game on Saturday.

"We will have to fight hard to get the result but I feel our reputation is restored and we can do well."
