Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says beating leaders Chelsea in his side's
next Premier League game might not be enough to put his team back in the
title race.
The Gunners' 1-0 win over Burnley
on Saturday means they are just four points behind Jose Mourinho's side, who come to Emirates Stadium on 26 April.
But Wenger said: "I don't think our game against Chelsea will decide the title - they have two games in hand.
"We still need a perfect run and a non-perfect run from them."

In the meantime Arsenal head to Wembley for their FA Cup semi-final against Reading looking to keep up their impressive form.
They have now won eight league games in a row and Wenger added: "We just have to keep going. We cannot master Chelsea's results, only our own.
"We want to keep winning of course because we have to look behind us as well."
Victory at Turf Moor moved Arsenal four points clear in the fight for second place, with the two teams immediately below them - Manchester United and Manchester City - facing each other on Sunday.
With six league games to go, the Gunners look almost certain of securing a top-four finish and Champions League qualification for an 18th consecutive season.
