Martin Odegaard<\/a> insists Arsenal<\/a> can still haul back Liverpool<\/a> in the race for the Premier League<\/a> title.<\/p>\n

Liverpool opened up a 16-point lead at the summit of English football on Saturday after coming from behind to beat Southampton at Anfield.<\/a><\/p>\n

Arsenal have two games in hand over Arne Slot\u2019s side and head to Old Trafford on Sunday to take on Manchester United.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Gunners saw their title aspirations severely dented by a shock home defeat to West Ham United before a goalless draw away to Nottingham Forest.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta\u2019s side failed to score in both those games but put seven past PSV Eindhoven in a rampant performance in the Champions League on Wednesday.<\/a><\/p>\n

Arsenal finished runners up last season in a battle with Manchester City that went right down to the final day with six wins on the trot not enough to chase down Pep Guardiola\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

But Odegaard believes that sort of form shows the gap can be closed if Liverpool do slip up.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019ll fight until the end,\u2019 Odegaard said.<\/p>\n

\u2018That\u2019s the mindset of everyone. We\u2019ve been fighting three years in a row for the title and you go a couple of years back then we were leading with a lot of points and then we finished second.<\/p>\n

\u2018It shows that everything is possible.<\/p>\n

‘We\u2019ve put ourselves in a difficult position at the moment but we have to keep going.<\/p>\n

\u2018Hopefully we can – like last year – hit the top form towards the end and then we\u2019ll see where that takes us in the league and also in the Champions League.\u2019<\/p>\n

21 points separate United and Arsenal ahead of kick-off with Ruben Amorim’s destined for bottom-half obscurity in the league in what has been another rotten season at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Amid some woeful results under the Portuguese, United have shown huge resolve away to Manchester City and Liverpool, also knocking Arsenal out of the FA Cup at the Emirates.<\/p>\n

While United have lost five of their last seven at home in the Premier League, Odegaard is wary of them striking again.<\/p>\n

\u2018They\u2019re not where they want to be in the table and it\u2019s a big club which has struggled a little bit but we know the quality they have when they\u2019re really on it and they have a lot of good individual players that we have to be ready for.<\/p>\n

\u2018But we go there to win and, yeah, we\u2019re Arsenal and we\u2019re not scared. We will go there to win the game.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
