Samir Nasri has said that he is confident that Arsenal can win the league this season, despite losing to Manchester United. The Frenchman's 12 goals in all competitions have been a significant factor behind the Gunners' success in the first half of the season.
But last week's defeat at Manchester United left Arsenal facing the usual accusations of naivety, and captain Cesc Fabregas has voiced his own concerns.
Arsene Wenger's team now trail leaders United by two points and have played an extra match, but, after a weekend of postponed fixtures, Samir Nasri still thinks that he and his team-mates are title contenders.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have been linked with some young prospects in the January transfer window - Zoran Tosic and Daniel Sturridge have both been rumoured to be interested in recent weeks.
