Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has downplayed his team's chances of securing the Premier League title even if they manage to beat leaders Chelsea in the forthcoming clash at Emirates Stadium on April 26.
Following a 1-0 win over Burnley, Arsenal have consolidated their position on the second spot with 66 points, four points behind league leaders Chelsea.
Wenger said that he didn't think their game against Chelsea would decide the title as Jose Mourinho's men have two games in hand, the BBC reported.
The Arsenal boss, who led the team 'Invincibles' to an unbeaten season in 2003-04, said that they still need a perfect run and a non-perfect run from Chelsea in order to have any chance of securing the title.
Wenger insisted that they have won 16 of their last 18 games in all competitions so they are consistent, adding that he wanted to make sure they give absolutely everything to finish the season in a strong way, and afterwards they would see where they stand.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will be looking to maintain their impressive form as they will square off against Reading in their FA Cup semifinal on 18th April.
