Man City defender Ake warns Arsenal: You still have to come here!

Arsenal's Premier League run-in looks to involve many challenging games.

That is the opinion of Manchester City and Holland defender Nathan Ake.

The defender, who is enjoying one of his best seasons with City, is adamant his side can catch up in the league table.

The Gunners have an eight point lead in the Premier League, having played one more game.

"I think it's going to go right to the end," he told SportBible. "It's very tight. Everything can change.

“We still have to play them at home, so that's going to be a massive, massive game. We know, from now on, that every game is going to be vital. If you lose one point, if you lose two points.

“It's so difficult to come back from it. The only thing we can do is win our games. We have a tough test coming up against Liverpool [on Saturday], which is the first one after the international break. That is going to be tough. But we need to win them all."

“I think all of Arsenal's remaining games are difficult to be fair," the 28-year-old added.

“In some of our previous games, we dropped points to teams that people didn't expect us to drop points against.

“But they lost against Everton, too. Every game in the league is so difficult. You can't relax at any second because teams will respond. I think it's going to go all the way to the end. The only thing we can do is focus on us and see how it goes."
