Despite Arsenal losing 1-0 at Manchester City on Sunday, Gunners goalkeeper Wojceich Szczesny has not yet written his side out of the Premier League title race.

 

Indeed, the Pole was encouraged by what he saw at Eastlands and is certain that City will drop points between now and the end of the season.

 

And that means the race for the English crown is still wide open.

 

Szczesny was also heartened by the slim difference between Arsenal and the league leaders, despite the millions lavished by Roberto Mancini.

 

"I don’t think there is a big gap between the teams in terms of quality", the goalkeeper told Arsenal’s official site.

 

"They just got the winning goal and that was the difference. But we showed on Sunday that we are just as good as the richest team and possibly, at the moment, the best team in the league so that gives us confidence we can beat everyone else."

 

And Szczesny feels the title is there for the taking.

 

"At the moment, it is too big a gap, but we hope we can make it smaller and then realistically we can talk about challenging for the title.

 

"City will drop points. They lost against Chelsea, who are a good side that seem to have got their confidence back now. We are confident, playing well while they are on top of the league, but Manchester United are catching up.

 

"Everyone can win it still."
