Granit Xhaka believes Arsenal can catch 'struggling' Chelsea and Liverpool in Premier League

Granit Xhaka has claimed his Arsenal side can catch 'struggling' Chelsea and Liverpool in the Premier League table.

The Gunners have been forced to solely concentrate on the Premier League having seen their journey in the League Cup ended at the semi-final stage on Thursday night.

After a 0-0 draw in the first-leg of their Carabao Cup clash against Liverpool at Anfield, Mikel Arteta’s side were beaten 2-0 by the Reds on Thursday night.

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.”
