Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour suggests that Arsenal are out of a "two-horse" Premier League title race between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour has hinted that the Gunners may be out of a "two-horse" Premier League title race between Leicester City and North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

Arsenal are 11 adrift of Leicester and four behind Spurs, but do have a game in hand on both clubs entering the final stretch of the season.

Parlour told Betsafe: "Well, [Arsenal] have got to believe they can [win it] and stranger things have happened – they've got the ability to win it.

"Obviously, it's out of their hands as they've got to rely on Leicester and Spurs making mistakes. All they can do is win every single game now. That's what Arsene will be saying to his players, 'Let's go out, perform every single week and see what we can do'.

"I hope there's a slip-up from the two big sides above them, but at the moment, it is looking like a Leicester and Spurs two-horse race."

Arsenal go to West Ham on Saturday lunchtime looking to put the pressure on the two sides above them.
