Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs has said that he and his teammates need to "remain positive" if they want to win the Premier League this season.

The Gunners are currently a point behind leaders Chelsea in second place in the league table, but have a game in hand.

"A trophy constitutes a successful season for Arsenal this year," the Daily Star quotes the 24-year-old as saying.

"There is certainly a belief. We're in January and up there so we have to take that as a huge positive and behave like we are favourites.

"We have to remain positive. We've seen this season there are crazy results happening in the league."

Arsenal will take on Aston Villa away from home on Monday.
