Arsenal will not stop fighting for the Premier League title despite slipping 11 points behind leaders Liverpool, says Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners lost further ground on league leaders Liverpool last weekend following a 1-0 defeat by West Ham at the Emirates.

Only three teams in Premier League history have closed a gap of 11 points or more to become champions by the end of the season.

But Arsenal still have a game in hand on Arne Slot's side and visit Anfield on 10 May, and Arteta believes his side remain in the the title race.

Asked if he would concede the title, Arteta said: "Over my dead body.

"Mathematically it is possible.

Three days ago we could close a gap and you are like 'you are one-and-a-half games away'.

"The difficulty is higher than three days ago but if you are going to win the Premier League you have to do something special.

"If you are going to win the Premier League with the circumstances we have you will probably have to do something that nobody else has done in the history of the Premier League."
