Arsenal may have lost ground on Manchester City in the Premier League title race in recent weeks, but their hopes remain alive heading into the final three games of the season.
Mikel Arteta's men are only one point behind the holders after Sunday's 2-0 win over Newcastle United. The Gunners will have to rely on results elsewhere if they are to win their first league title in 19 years, with City having a game in hand.
When asked about the importance of the title race and recent wins, Arteta said: "That we are there, that we want to keep digging. The prize is there, not too far. The only thing we can do is keep insisting and not turn our backs and lose focus on something else. Be determined every single day. Let’s keep going and see what happens."
