Szczesny: Gunners goalkeeper still has title belief ahead of Spurs trip<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Wojciech Szczesny has set his sights on victory against Tottenham on Wednesday to revive Arsenal’s fading title bid.<\/p>\n

The Gunners saw another two precious points slip through their fingers on Sunday as Dirk Kuyt’s penalty deep into added time at Emirates Stadium cancelled out Robin van Persie’s spot-kick in the eighth additional minute at the end of the 90.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arsene Wenger’s men could find themselves nine points adrift of Manchester United when they kick off against their bitter North London rivals on Wednesday evening with just six games of the season remaining.<\/span><\/p>\n

But goalkeeper Szczesny is refusing to give up on the Premier League crown and believes that victory over Spurs at White Hart Lane would provide the perfect pick-me-up for the players and fans after a series of disappointing home displays.<\/p>\n

Believe<\/h4>\n

He said: “Of course we still believe we can win the title.<\/p>\n

“We still have to play United and they also have to play Chelsea. They will drop points and we believe we’re good enough to win every game remaining.<\/p>\n

“Tottenham is a very good match for us to come back from a big disappointment and we owe it to the fans because they’re very disappointed about what happened against Liverpool. We owe them a result at White Hart Lane.<\/p>\n

“We are Arsenal, we don’t want to finish second and we definitely don’t want to finish third.”
Wojciech Szczesny<\/em> Quotes of the week<\/a><\/p>\n

“The draw was a huge disappointment because with a minute to go we scored what we thought was a winning goal. We’re all gutted.<\/p>\n

“It was a cheap penalty to give away whether it was one or not. We needed to win really badly to keep the pressure on United.”<\/p>\n

First<\/h5>\n

Defending champions Chelsea are now just two points behind the Gunners in the table, but young Pole Szczesny insists they are not feeling any additional pressure from the teams in their wake.<\/p>\n

And the 21-year-old, who returned as the last line of defence after suffering a finger injury in the UEFA Champions League defeat to Barcelona, has admitted he is not yet at 100 per cent fitness.<\/p>\n

He added: “We’re only thinking about winning the title, not who is behind us.<\/p>\n

“We go into everything to finish first. We are Arsenal, we don’t want to finish second and we definitely don’t want to finish third.<\/p>\n

“I still feel a little uncomfortable when I’m in goal. I wear a special protection but it didn’t cause me any trouble against Liverpool.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
