Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that Liverpool are still in the race for the Premier League title, despite currently sitting fourth in the table.

Wenger said that the race will remain close for the rest of the season and that the team who has the most consistent run over the final 11 games will come out on top.

"It's very tight at the top, Liverpool are in the race, and they have an advantage as it is the only competition they play," Sky Sports News quotes Wenger as saying.

"I hope it will be tight until the end, because then it will be interesting and if you are consistent then you have a chance to win.

"You need to be at your best to find the resources to win games, this is a big game for us and of course this weekend we just want to focus on the three points."

Arsenal take on Stoke City on Saturday afternoon.
