- NEIL MCLEMAN

OLEKSANDR ZINCHENKO says Arsenal going undefeated against their title rivals this season has proved Mikel Arteta’s side can compete with the best in the world.

The Gunners have beaten Liverpool and Manchester City at home in the Premier League and drawn at Anfield and the Etihad.

Arsenal ended Wednesday night back on top of the table after beating Luton and next week they face Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Asked if their record against their title rivals gave them confidence for the run-in, former Manchester City defender Zinchenko said: “Yes, I won’t lie to you, 100 per cent.

“It shows that we are ready to fight for it and we are ready to compete with the best teams in the world.
