New Delhi: Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has hit back at Manchester United skipper Rio Ferdinand's suggestion that the title race is over for the Gunners this season.
Ferdinand, who is in Japan with the Old Trafford side for the FIFA Club World Cup, did admit that there was a slight possibility that Arsene Wenger's men could land the Premier League trophy, but it was now only very slight, and the real battle would be between United, Chelsea and Liverpool.
"With all the experience they [Manchester United] have, they should know more than anyone that football can change in one week, two weeks," Fabregas told Sky Sports on Tuesday.
The Gunners face Liverpool on Sunday afternoon in a game that could well define either team's season. It could also give a real indication as to whether the Gunners do still have any serious designs on a title race that they look all but out of.
"It is a massive game against Liverpool, it is vital. It can be a massive change in the table," added Fabregas.
"If we win we know that we can come back to five points which is not a lot. We know five points is nothing."
Arsenal are currently eight points behind leaders Liverpool in fifth place, and a point behind fourth-placed Aston Villa, who are increasingly beginning to look the biggest threat to Arsenal's chances of playing Champions League football next season.
