ARSENAL STILL IN TITLE RACE – DECLAN RICE
Declan Rice has said Arsenal is still in the title race despite their defeat to Aston Villa at the Emirates on Sunday.
Two late goals from Leon Bailey and Olie Watkins saw Champions League-chasing Villa secure a 2-0 win.
A win for the Gunners would have moved them above Manchester City who had thrashed Luton 5-1 on Saturday.
Also, Mikel Arteta’s side failed to capitalize on Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Anfield.
But Rice is upbeat the Gunners are still in it, as he believes their title rivals will drop points.

“It’s not over yet,” Rice said. “We’re in an unbelievable position. We’re still ready, we’re still fully focused on what we want to do and what we can achieve.
“There’s going to be many more twists and turns in the Premier League. Anything can happen.”
Up next for Arsenal is a trip to the Allianz Arena where they will face Bayern Munich in the second leg of the UeFA Champions League.
In the first leg, Bayern held Arsenal to a 2-2 draw with former Gunners forward Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane on target.
