As title race goes down to the wire, Arsenal skipper insists: 'We're not listening to any negativity'

MARTIN ODEGAARD insists Arsenal will “block out the noise" and focus on winning the title.

The Gunners suffered a devastating blow by losing at title rivals Manchester City and will be knocked off the top tomorrow night if Pep Guardiola’s men win at Burnley.

That would complete a remarkable turnaround in the Premier League title race, as Arsenal were nine points ahead and will have been at the top for the past 200 days.

But now it is gearing up to be a straight shootout between Arsenal and City for the title, which could come down to goal difference.

Arsenal are already having to stomach accusations that they are bottlers, as they are in serious danger of seeing the season collapse around them, less than a month after having an unlikely Quadruple in their sights.
