(MENAFN- The Peninsula) United Kingdom-Arsene Wenger has said his Arsenal side need a "perfect run" to have any chance of catching Premier League leaders Chelsea.
Saturday's 1-0 win away to Burnley made it eight league wins in a row for the Gunners for the first time since the 'Invincibles' season of 2003/04.
Chelsea are four points in front with two games in hand ahead of their match away to relegation-threatened Queens Park Rangers on Sunday and the title is now theirs to lose.
But London rivals Arsenal have emerged as their closest challenges due to a superb run of form.
However, cautious Arsenal manager Wenger said after his side's latest triumph at Turf Moor: "Nothing has changed, we need a perfect run and we need a non-perfect run from them (Chelsea) but we can't master that, we can only master our own position.
"We want to keep winning because we have to look behind us as well at Manchester United and Manchester City," the veteran French boss added.
"I think we have won 15 of last 17 so we are consistent.
"When you look at the number of players we had out for months at the start of the season, we got our squad back since January and that makes a difference.
"Let's focus on the next game and give absolutely everything to finish in a strong way."
Aaron Ramsey's ninth club goal of the season was enough to give Arsenal maximum points against a determined Burnley team, who missed the chance to move out of the relegation zone.
Burnley have taken points off Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur this season with performances full of spirit and they made Arsenal work hard for the victory, without seriously threatening to equalise.
