Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has admitted the Gunners are in the title race now, but he insists they take it day by day.
Mikel Arteta’s side failed to make the Champions League places last season but has been atop the league table for much of this term.
There are many more games to go, but with a five-point lead and a game in hand, it is hard to deny that Arsenal is one of the clubs in the running to win the league.
Most of their players haven’t publicly admitted they are in the race so far, but Odegaard has
‘We’re in the title race now,’ the Arsenal skipper told the Players’ Tribune via the Daily Mail.
‘But there’s a long way to go and, trust me, no one is thinking about May yet.
‘It’s a cliche, but we are taking it game by game, training session by training session. One piece at a time.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
We are certainly in the title race now, even though we do not like to admit it.
Our players have done admirably well to reach where they are and we must work hard to remain in the race.
The more time we spend at the top, the more work we must do and the players seem to understand this.
WATCH – JUSTARSENAL SHOW – A first ever video from ADMIN PAT talking about the changes needed for tomorrow’s game with Brentford. It’s a test, it’s short, it’s raw without any editing, and I WILL get better lol, but let me know your first impressions please…

We can’t play shy of our chase for the 2022/2023 PL title. We started with other teams to get to where we are. 20 out of 38 games and we are top with 5points and one game in hand ahead of the second-place team. We must keep the momentum: galvanise into a solid arsenal and blow off adversaries tip-toeing behind the Gunners”!!!
What do you mean by “play shy”? It makes no sense if used in its normal meaning.
Of course we are in the title race, we have passed most of the hurdles we faced so far. A hectic October with the little squad depth we had all injured. 5 very tough matches to start the post world cup run. Now we are in February still top of table with a 5/8 pts advantage.
As some coches have said, You don’t win the title in dec/jan but you can certainly lose it.
