Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has said that the race for the Premier League title will go down to the wire this season.

The Gunners got back on track in the top flight following a run of two games without a win by overcoming Sunderland at the Emirates Stadium.

As a result, Arsenal moved into second place in the table, behind leaders Leicester City, and the Welshman has acknowledged that his side are in for a fight to the end to win the Premier League crown.

Ramsey told the club's official website: "It is really close at the moment. Teams are taking points off each other so it is going to be tight all the way through and it is important to keep ourselves in the race for this busy time and into the New Year and it was a good way to start ahead of December.

"It was very important to get the win after losing one game and drawing another and it was important to get back to winning ways and close the gap on the top and it was nice to do it at home in front of the fans."

The Gunners are next in action against Olympiacos in their must-win Champions League match.
