Arsenal captain William Gallas is confident that the
Gunners can maintain their impressive form - and their lead at the
top of the Premier League - until the end of the
season.
With Arsenal currently leading the Barclays Premier League by two
points from champions Manchester United, and with Chelsea a further
four points adrift. Arsenal captain William Gallas expects the race
for the Premier League title to go right to the wire - but he's
confident his team-mates can maintain their strong first-half
performance in the second-half of the season.
Gallas is set to return to the starting XI for Saturday's Premier
League fixture against Birmingham City at the Emirates Stadium,
after having been rested - along with many other first team
regulars - for the cup clashes against Burnley last Sunday and
Tottenham on Wednesday.
And he said: "The fact we are still top sends a message that we are
strong, but we know that Manchester United and also Chelsea are
still there also.
"It will be close all season, but we must realise everything is in
our hands.
"I hope to be back in the team for the Birmingham game, and I think
that we will be really fresh for that, having missed the last
couple of games.
"We still have a long way to go this season and I am sure everybody
will be ready for it, because we have to be."
