He said: “Arsenal are doing a good job and also Manchester United are really strong this year, so there are several teams who can win it.
“But I’m confident we can be really close. Everyone believes we can do it, you can see that in training every day.
“Everyone is working really hard to make sure we’re there at the end of the season. The players believe we have the quality to do it.
“We have the belief we can beat Arsenal, especially with the crowd behind us. It’s still a long season but this game could take us to within three points of the leaders.”
