Gunners - contenders or pretenders?
Arsenal will know in the next two weeks whether they have got a realistic stab at winning the EPL title, according to star midfielder Tomas Rosicky. The Gunners have surprised all by overturning an 11-point deficit in seven weeks to storm past Chelsea and Manchester United. Arsenal next four matches are against Aston Villa next Wednesday, followed by United at home, Chelsea away and then a visit from Liverpool. "Everybody knows the coming weeks are the critical ones in the whole season,” said Rosicky on Thursday. "If we can win the majority of our next four EPL games, it will have a huge bearing on where the title goes. No one expected to close the gap at the top quite so quickly. But things can change in just a few weeks. Can we win the title this year? We are definitely up for it and want to do it."
