David Seaman believes a clean bill of health could be the difference between Arsenal winning the Premier League and falling short this season. (More Football News)
The Gunners are two points behind Manchester City after losing to Aston Villa last weekend but can return to the summit if they win at Wolves on Saturday.
The three-way tussle with reigning champions City and a Liverpool side which are losing manager Jurgen Klopp at the end of the campaign promises to be a title showdown for the ages.
The picture shifts after every round of fixtures and, with just six games remaining, the slightest of margins could determine the destination of the trophy.
Both Arsenal and Liverpool slipped up last week to allow City to lead the way, while Champions League quarter-final defeat to Bayern Munich has also hit Mikel Arteta바카라s side.
But, for former Arsenal and City goalkeeper Seaman, Arsenal need to be able to call upon their best players in the closing weeks if they are to win a first league crown in 20 years.
They lost centre-back William Saliba in the run-in last season and were ultimately reeled in by a City side which went on to win the treble.
바카라Am I confident? Yes, there바카라s three teams in it and, so long as Arsenal keep their players fit, then we바카라ve got a great chance,바카라 Seaman said.
바카라Our squad is not as big as Liverpool바카라s is and City바카라s is, but if Arsenal can keep everyone fit and ready, we바카라ve got a great chance.
바카라We struggled last year through injuries, but now we바카라re at a different level at Arsenal, we are contenders whereas before we sometimes celebrated getting in the top four.
바카라But now we바카라re in contention every season so that shows the improvement in the team.바카라
Seaman will once again work with the England goalkeepers as a coach during this year바카라s Soccer Aid for UNICEF in June.
The 60-year-old collected 75 caps for the Three Lions during his own playing career and has played a role in working closely with current England and Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
David Raya has been Arteta바카라s first choice since September following his move from Brentford and, while Seaman insists Ramsdale is 바카라too good바카라 to be a back-up goalkeeper, he has been impressed with the Spaniard.
바카라When David came in, he found it tough, he came from Brentford to play for Arsenal and that is next-level pressure,바카라 he added.
바카라Plus, he overtook Aaron who was a fan바카라s favourite, but he바카라s found his feet now, his distribution at the back is brilliant and Arsenal have got two really, really good goalkeepers 바카라 how you keep them both happy, I have no idea!바카라
