We can still win it – Almunia

Arsenal goalkeeper Manuel Almunia believes there is no reason why the club cannot still challenge for the EPL title. The Gunners suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Manchester United on Sunday to lose valuable ground in the championship race. But with EPL leaders Chelsea suffering a shock 1-1 draw with Hull in midweek, Almunia cautioned against writing of Arsenal’s chances of forcing their way back into the mix. Chelsea and Arsenal clash this weekend. "We are on schedule to do good things this season, we have only a little step to get back to the top of the league," said Almunia on Wednesday. "Sometimes it is better to come back from third or fourth to challenge than to be at the top all the time." Arsenal trail Chelsea by six points and second-placed United by four.
