We still believe we can be champions says Wilshere

Jack Wilshere accepts Arsenal cannot afford any more "sloppy" performance if they are to keep their title hopes in their own hands.

Despite dropping two points at West Brom on Saturday, victory in each of the remaining nine fixtures would still guarantee the Gunners the championship.

"We were a bit sloppy, but showed great character to come back from that and have to push on now," England midfielder Wilshere said to Arsenal TV Online.

"There are nine games left and we really have to go to it. Manchester United still have to come to the Emirates, and we will have to beat them there - from now, that is the biggest we have to look forward to. Until then, we will just have to win every game.

"We all feel we are still their main challengers and, in the dressing room, we believe we can win it.

"Hopefully the fans do too, because we need them behind us as well."
