Diogo Jota s cored twice for the Reds at the Emirates to set up a final showdown with Chelsea next month.
But despite the result, and the fact Arsenal sit 10 points behind Liverpool in the table, Xhaka believes his 'are not so far' from the Reds.
“It’s a shame because everyone is only speaking about the fourth place,” the Switzerland international told Sky Sports.
“I believe we can do much better than that. Chelsea is struggling, at the moment, as well. We are not so far from them, even Liverpool as well.
“But, first of all, we have to look after ourselves. Take the points that we need and not look too much to the others.”
