Defender Gaël Clichy insists that his team are still in the title race, despite having suffered two heavy defeats to their closest rivals.

The full back has also come under criticism from the fans after a number of poor performances this season, though the Frenchman has just returned from injury.

Arsenal take on Liverpool tonight hoping to avoid a third successive defeat, and haul themselves back into contention for the title.

Clichy said: "Let's work on it, next we play against a good side in Liverpool.

"It's going to be difficult but we have to do it because if we want to be the best, we have to compete. We have to think game after game and it starts with Liverpool. We have to think one game at a time but the less we lose, the better it will be.

"The rule in sport is when you want to be the best, after every defeat you have to ask the right questions to yourself and the team. You have to go again and dig in.

"That is what we are going to start doing again in training because it is only with hard work and a bit of luck that things can happen. Maybe then we can go somewhere.

"We need to be more decisive in the right moments and the best thing to do is to carry on fighting.

"It's not going to be easy, but it is not finished. We were 11 points behind [after Chelsea defeated Arsenal 3-0 in late November] and came back so we have to hope they drop points and make sure we don't drop any points."
