Theo Walcott already concerned about the title race, says Watford game is a must win

By

Striker Theo Walcott says Arsenal simply cannot afford to drop any points next Saturday away at Watford if they don't want other teams to get away in the title race.

The Gunners are already five points behind leaders Manchester City, Manchester United, Hull City and Chelsea.

They desperately need all three points from Vicarage Road in order to avoid finding themselves seven or eight points behind the leaders after only three games.

"I think if you look at the balance of the game, it started to open out towards the last 10 minutes," Walcott told Arsenal Player.

"When we look back at this game we will see it as a fair result.

"We've come to the champions and we know it's not going to be easy. Not many people beat them. Only two teams, us being one of them, beat them last year.

"We want to have a similar sort of performance to when we last played Watford away. It doesn't matter how we play, as long as we get the three points.

"Leicester know how to defend very well and like to put pretty much the whole team behind the ball, so it's difficult to break them down. We had chances to score but sadly we failed to do that.

"We don't want teams getting away from us [in the title race], but it's only two games in.

"We've got a nice run of games now and we've got to think about all of the positives from today. Watford is going to be another tough game because every game is this season, so it's going to be very difficult.

"Each team gets better each year. We want to have a similar sort of performance to when we last played Watford away. It doesn't matter how we play, as long as we get the three points."
