Walcott: We can win the title next season

Cape Town - Arsenal striker Theo Walcott believes the club are in a great position to challenge for the Premier League title next season, provided they can stay injury-free.

The Gunners have been in sublime form since the turn of the year and had won eight matches in a row before playing out a goalless draw against leaders Chelsea on Sunday, which left them third in the standings on goal difference, but with a game in hand.

However, the first half of their campaign was blighted by numerous injuries, with Walcott himself having only recently returned from a lengthy lay-off, while Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck, Mikel Arteta and Kieran Gibbs also struggled for fitness.
