Wenger concedes Premier League title is out of Arsenal's reach

Arsene Wenger admits Arsenal's run of form has come too late for them to win the title.

The Gunners are now second in the Premier League table following Saturday’s 4-1 demolition of Liverpool at the Emirates and have lost only twice in their last 12 matches in all competitions.

But Wenger believes his side will run out of games in their quest to overhaul leaders Chelsea, who lead the table by seven points.

"If there was 15 [league] games to go, you would not complain," the Arsenal manager said. "We had a very slow start this season, when we had many important players out together, and we dropped too many points."

"We played six games in the Premier League and won two, after that you have a mountain to climb."

"But now you can see that when we have everybody back, we can compete and the number of points we have made shows we have the quality to fight at the top."

"For the title we need us to be perfect and Chelsea not to be perfect, so let's focus on what we can master which means our own performance."
