(GSM) – Theo Walcott believes Arsenal can still win the Premier League. The 20 year-old winger insists the title hopes of the Gunners should not be written off as he looks to boost his claims of playing for England at the World Cup.

Arsenal defeated Sunderland on Saturday (2-0) and saw how their title rivals Manchester United were stunned by Everton (3-1). Walcott started just his fifth Premier League game of the season against the Black Cats. He hopes to celebrate his first Premier League title at the end of this season and believes Arsenal can go all the way.

“People tend to write us off,” said Walcott. “We stay in the background and do our own thing. We’re just six points behind Chelsea. It’s looking good.

“It was frustrating in the early stages of the season with results not going our way, but it’s coming together now.”

Walcott is also trying to rediscover his best form after an injury-hit season put his World Cup chances on the line.

He has not played for England this season and believes he needs to remain injury-free for the rest of the campaign to have a chance of being called up by national coach Fabio Capello.

“I’m starting to get there now, it’s just getting that final ball sorted,” added Walcott. “I’m not looking too far towards the World Cup at all to be honest – I’m just concentrating on Arsenal with all the big games ahead of us because I’ve not really featured much for my club this season.

“I just need to stay fully fit and if I do hopefully I’ll have a chance of getting on the plane.”
