Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has revealed that the players in the camp are happy to be considered under-dogs in this season’s Premier League title race.
The Gunners are top of the table and have been for a large portion of the season, but they are still seen as third favourites, behind lethal side Manchester City, who have already netted over 100 goals this season, and also Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea, who are currently two points behind them.
“When people are doubting you or saying you’re not capable of doing something, it gives you that motivation to prove them wrong,” Oxlade-Chamberlain told the club’s official website.
“At the same time, when you aren’t favourites you can go about your work quietly – and the most important thing is that we know what we need to do to finish where we want to finish. That’s the only thing that matters.
“The manager, the coaching staff and as a group of players, we all know what needs to be done – to keep winning games consistently.
“As long as we keep that togetherness and that belief in ourselves, it is up to us how well we do this year.”
