Gabriel Jesus has insisted Arsenal have to beat Manchester City on Wednesday if they want to win their first Premier League title in nearly 20 years.
The Gunners blew the chance to go seven points clear of their title rivals on Friday evening with a 3-3 draw with Southampton. Late goals from Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Jesus rescued a point for Mikel Arteta's side after the bottom-of-the-table side raced into a 3-1 lead.
Now, Man City have two games in hand on Arsenal ahead of next week's mouth-watering clash between the two sides. The fixture has been touted as a winner-takes-all, with many claiming the title will be City's if they earn a third win of the season over the Gunners.

Speaking after the draw with Southampton, former Man City striker Gabriel Jesus has told his teammates exactly what they need to do if they are to win the title in May. "Manchester City have two games in hand but if we want to be champions we have to go there to win the game. That is all," the Brazilian said.
"A lot of things are going on now. We don't want to come here and talk negative because we are very positive, what we are doing this season is amazing. The Premier League is tough. Now is the difficult moment. It is time now to stick together until the end.
"We still have a lot of things to do this season, it is not over, we are still five points clear. We are the youngest team in the league, not making excuses. Sometimes we do right and sometimes we do wrong, everyone can make mistakes that is why it is so important to stick together.
"Everything can happen. Obviously, we are not happy with the last three games, we dropped points and we know this is true, no one has to tell us. We dropped a little bit of our level and focus, this is the Premier League, it is so difficult to win this competition. We are still there, we are still fighting and we will fight until the end."
