LONDON (AP) Arsene Wenger is confident that Arsenal will beat Manchester United for the Premier League title — despite its third consecutive draw.
The 0-0 draw at Wigan on Sunday means Arsenal has only a two-point lead over United, and the Red Devils still have a game in hand.
"I am sure we will take off again," Wenger said Monday. "We have gone through a difficult patch. We have to keep our calm and focus and belief.
"Four points (have been) dropped in the last three league games. Against Aston Villa a point was just what we deserved, but Birmingham and Wigan were four points dropped.
"You go through a patch like that and the negative is a deficit in points. But I am very confident we still have good chances to do it (win the league)."
Wenger is also confident Arsenal will beat United at Old Trafford on April 13 — one of the nine league games it has left. The two drew 2-2 at Emirates Stadium in November.
"They will not take all the points and we can go there and beat them," Wenger said.
