Gareth Barry insists Aston Villa are more concerned with their own game than the threat posed by Arsenal, just three points behind the Midlanders. The England international said: "We are fourth at the moment. There is still a little gap there, and there is still a chance.

"We've just got to try and see it through in the final part of the season.

"But we would prefer to be looking up, chasing Liverpool and Chelsea.Arsenal. You've always got to think like that, no matter who you are. We are still in there.

"Some of the results (elsewhere) keep giving us chances. The players, the manager, the fans, everyone at the club realises you've got to try and take it while it is there this season.

"We are right in there still."
