MESUT OZIL insists Arsenal can win the Premier League.
The Gunners stunned Manchester United on Sunday to move within two points of leaders Manchester City.
Ozil scored in between two Alexis Sanchez wonder goals as Arsenal blitzed United inside 19 minutes at the Emirates.
And the Germany World Cup winner believes if Arsene Wenger can keep his squad fit, they can be champions this season.

"We have a great team with a lot of world-class players," Ozil told German newspaper Bild.
"Our goal is to win the Premier League title. I think we can achieve it this season if we do not get any major injuries.
"But the season is still long."
Arsenal have not won the title since 2004 and finished 12 points behind Chelsea last season.
Wenger made just one high profile summer signing, in goalkeeper Petr Cech from Chelsea, and has come under fire from fans this season.
Defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and their disastrous start to the Champions League campaign brought Wenger's summer activity into questions.
But, going into the international break, they stand level with United and with twice as many points as Chelsea from eight games.
And while Champions League progress now looks unlikely - with the double header against Bayern to come - Ozil remains optimistic.
"Of course, it will not be easy, but we have the potential to beat any team," he added.
"It is true that there is a lot of pressure on us in the Champions League. We can beat Bayern, though, if we play at the same level as against Manchester United."
