'Lose one more time and I think they're out of it'

Sunday's 1-1 draw at Chelsea was a fourth Premier League game in a row without a win for Arsenal.

The result left them nine points behind leaders Liverpool and, on Sunday's episode of Match of the Day 2, ex-Gunners forward Theo Walcott and former Watford striker Troy Deeney were asked for their thoughts on Mikel Arteta's side.

Walcott: "They've had a period of time without their leader in Martin Odegaard. They've played six of last season's top 10, and five of those have been away. They're now at a stage where they don't want to let Liverpool get too far away from them, that's for certain. The international break has come at a good time for them."

Deeney: "I would say they're in a situation now where every game is massively important. Lose one more time and I think they're out of it [the title race]."
