Mikel Arteta바카라s men kept up the pace with Premier League title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City thanks to Wednesday evening바카라s comfortable 2-0 victory over lowly Luton.
The Gunners are also chasing Champions League success and next week begin a two-legged quarter-final against Bayern Munich.
With the season at a pivotal stage, left-back Zinchenko feels taking four top-flight points from both Jurgen Klopp바카라s Reds and Pep Guardiola바카라s reigning champions this term gives his side confidence.
바카라Yeah, I won바카라t lie to you, 100 per cent because it shows that we are ready to compete with the best teams in the world,바카라 he said.
바카라It바카라s not easy to play against City away and also Liverpool away and the other teams as well 바카라 I don바카라t want to be disrespectful to the others. It shows that Arsenal are ready to fight for it.
바카라We know that we are fighting for something big this season.바카라
Martin Odegaard바카라s 10th strike of the season and an own goal from Daiki Hashioka were enough to dispatch the relegation-threatened Hatters and build on an Easter Sunday stalemate at City.
Arsenal led the title race for much of last season before fading away in the final weeks.
Ukraine international Zinchenko, a four-time Premier League champion during his City days, feels the Gunners must harness that disappointment but concedes only time will tell if they can avoid a similar fate.
바카라I can바카라t tell you this right now because there is still a lot of games to play,바카라 the 27-year-old replied when asked if Arsenal have the squad to fight for both the Champions League and Premier League titles.
바카라We already have this experience from last season, where we were quite far from the others and then in the end we didn바카라t do what we wanted.
바카라This experience we need to take with us and then let바카라s see what is going to happen. This year all of us we바카라ve got more experience, we바카라ve played with each other much, much more and I think we바카라re improving.바카라
Arsenal바카라s final eight top-flight fixtures begin at Brighton on Saturday evening, while they still have to face Champions League-chasing Aston Villa, London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham, and Manchester United.
Luton바카라s quest for survival continues at home to Bournemouth this weekend.
The 18th-placed Hatters have gone 10 league games without victory following defeat at Emirates Stadium but remain just three points from safety.
Manager Rob Edwards said: 바카라We바카라ve got to recover well and we바카라ve got to go and attack the game on Saturday.
바카라Bournemouth바카라s not going to be easy and I think everyone needs to know that 바카라 the last 20 games I think they바카라re fifth in the form table.
바카라We바카라re going to have to be right at it. We바카라ve got seven games left now so it바카라s game on. We know it바카라s time to be delivering points and we바카라re going to be going for it.바카라
