Cesc Fabregas has insisted Arsenal are still in the Premier League title race despite their torrid start to the season.
The new Arsenal captain takes his team to Chelsea on Sunday with the club having lost five games in the league and only a week after Arsene Wenger's stripped William Gallas of the captaincy following criticism of his team-mates.
Arsenal are ten points behind Chelsea, but Fabregas is adamant they can still challenge for the title. "The aim is to lift a trophy," he said. "We are in the last 16 of the Champions League and are in contention in every competition. We have played only 14 league games this season and it is not over yet. Nothing is done and we will fight until the end.
"Our target is to go there and win, because we could get some points back. The other teams at the top have some difficult games as well, so we will see."
Fabregas added that Arsenal have the ability to beat any side on their day. "We have to play as a team and when we play good and quick passing, we can play against anybody and win," he said.

"Arsenal never go for a draw, we always go for a win and I am sure a club like Chelsea will do the same as well because every time I have played against them they have always gone forwards, to go for the victory."(times)
