Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists his team can win the Premier League and the race is now between Manchester United and the Gunners.

As Chelsea sit six points behind second-placed Arsenal following a dip in form earlier this season, Wenger believes the Blues’ only hope of winning the league is if they win all their remaining games and hope other results go in their favour.

“If Chelsea beat Manchester United and win all their games they might have a chance,” said the Arsenal manager, according to the club’s official website.

“But mathematically it is in our hands or Man United’s hands.

“The other teams can only come back if Arsenal or Manchester United do not take their opportunities. So it is down to our results.
 
“It is simple – for me, we have a good opportunity to win the championship. If we do not do it, it will be Manchester United because certainly the other teams are too far away.

“We have a good opportunity to keep our run going and that is what we want to do. We are on a long, strong run in the championship and we want to continue that.”

Arsenal face West Bromwich Albion on Saturday and Wenger believes that not enough credit has been given to his team’s consistency in the Premier League as they look to continue their 11-game unbeaten run.

“In fairness, we have not had many off days in the Premier League,” said Wenger.

“If you look at what this team has given in the last three months, the players do not get the recognition of the effort they put in. People forget quickly the quality of the performances we have put in, but we are on a remarkably consistent run in the Premier League.

“We have gone out in the Champions League and only just in special circumstances. At Old Trafford, we could have got a result, but were still a bit affected by Barcelona. We cannot say we have not produced a performance in that game.

“Now we just want to keep our belief high, togetherness high and give our best shot until the end of the season.”
