Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has insisted that his side can still challenge for honours this season.
The Gunners have endured their worst start to a Premier League campaign under Arsene Wenger this year, and were dumped out of the League Cup by League Two Bradford City last week.
However, the England international sees no reason as to why Arsenal cannot still lift a trophy this term.
"We can still realistically win everything we are in. I know we are a long way behind in the Premier League, but football changes quickly," said Wilshere. "If we win three games and another team loses a couple and draws one, we are back in it. It is not in our hands so we need a bit of luck.
"We are in the last 16 of the Champions League, that is going to be difficult, but we know in the Champions League anything can happen. It is two games and we can beat anybody. We showed that at home before when we beat Barcelona. There is no reason why we cannot do it again.
"We have got a hard game against Swansea in the FA Cup, but if we win that and a couple of big teams go out, anything can happen in cup football."
Arsenal travel to face Reading in the Premier League on Monday night.
