Edin Dzeko is confident that Manchester City can become the new Premier League champions, despite Manchester United's surge to the top of the table.

Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko believes that the Premier League title is still in his side's grasp, despite Roberto Mancini's team dropping points at the weekend.

The North West side salvaged a 3-3 draw against Sunderland on Saturday after being 3-1 down at the Etihad Stadium, leaving arch rivals Manchester United two points clear at the top of the table.

"There are seven games to play, and the way we dropped points, United can drop points as well, so everything is still open," said Dzeko. "We need to go from game to game and try to win every match.

"The next is Arsenal. We will play to win and then we will see. They are fighting for a Champions League place and are a top team, so it won't be easy. It should be a good, open game.

"Maybe we thought Saturday [against Sunderland] was going to be easy. We had won all our home games so maybe we thought we could count on all three points - but it's not like that, and you have to fight for every point."

City could potentially be eight points adrift of the league top spot when they face the Gunners on Sunday.
