Jack Wilshere hasn’t ruled Arsenal out of the Premier League title race despite Manchester City dominating the early season.
The 25-year-old Arsenal playmaker admits the Gunners have a long way to go but is still optimistic that Arsenal could take home a trophy at the end of the season.
“We’re still only in November, we have to keep working hard, keep plugging away, picking up points at home,” he said at the premiere of 89 on Wednesday night.

“[Manchester] City are doing really well at the moment, they’ve set the benchmark.
“We know it’s a tough league with high quality in it and City are top at the moment, but we’ve got to keep working hard.”
