Michael Owen has revealed the only way Arsenal<\/a> can still pip Liverpool<\/a> to the Premier League<\/a> title after a damaging defeat to West Ham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arsenal’s title hopes were dealt a huge and potentially fatal blow on Saturday as Graham Potter’s Hammers clinched a 1-0 win at the Emirates Stadium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The hosts’ lack of firepower was once again a problem and they could not respond to Jarrod Bowen’s opener on the stroke of half-time.<\/p>\n

In a further blow, Arsenal finished the match with ten men after Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent off for hacking down Mohammed Kudus as he attempted to race through on goal.<\/p>\n

The defeat leaves Arsenal eight points behind Liverpool as the Premier League leaders prepare for Sunday’s huge game against Manchester City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have challenged for the title for three seasons in a row<\/a> but look set to fall short yet again.<\/p>\n

Ex-England striker Owen believes Mikel Arteta’s side will need to win all 12 of their remaining league games to even stand a chance of pipping Liverpool to the title.<\/p>\n

Reacting to Arsenal’s defeat to West Ham, Owen said on Premier League Productions<\/a>: ‘You\u2019re going for a title and Liverpool have stumbled in the last couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

‘I know you\u2019ve got injuries but you\u2019re at home against West Ham and you\u2019ve still got a good team out there. You\u2019d think they would find a way but the West Ham goalkeeper was hardly worked today.<\/p>\n

‘They could still be out there now and they wouldn\u2019t have scored. It\u2019s disappointing for the Arsenal fans and now they\u2019re going to need to ask for a lot of help from other teams.<\/p>\n

‘Liverpool have been absolutely brilliant this season, no one can deny they deserve to be top. We\u2019re all looking at the run-in and wondering if Arsenal can do it.<\/p>\n

‘Now Liverpool need 29 points out of 26 which is not a banker still, it\u2019s not a banker. But that\u2019s assuming Arsenal go unbeaten and that\u2019s the hard thing because they\u2019re struggling for firepower.<\/p>\n

‘But they\u2019ve got to aim for that because anything less and you\u2019d think Liverpool would do it.’<\/p>\n
