<!--Article Start--> <h2 style="text-align: justify">Arsenal forward, Theo Walcott, claims Arsenal have been a the best team in Europea this calendar year and says they could have won the league if not for injuries.</h2> <p style="text-align: justify">Arsenal are on a good run of form since the year began and they had a slight possibility of beating Chelsea to the league title, till the league leaders held them to a 0-0 draw on Sunday. The draw against Chelsea has practically denied Arsenal the remote chance of lifting the Premier League trophy.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Praising his sidea s performance since the start of 2015, Theo Walcott claimed that Arsenal could challenge for the title next season considering the squad depth the London-based club has. He added that if the club had an injury-free season, they could lift the title.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">As quoted on the <a href="http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20150428/-everyone-seems-to-have-lifted-a-gear-">Arsenal</a> website, Walcott said: a There is a lot of competition for places, so everyone seems to lift a gear and play extremely well. It makes it a bit more difficult for people to get into the team.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"I think, especially this season, not many people thought we would be challenging for the Premier League.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"In this calendar year, we have been the best team in Europe. It is the strongest the squad has been and everyone is staying fit as well.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"There aren't many injuries in the squad, which is important. If we had an injury-free season, I think we could lift the title."</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Arsenal have had a strong start to 2015. The club have made it to the final of the FA Cup and have almost secured a sure short place in the Champions League next season as they head to finish above the fourth-place. However, 2015 hasna t been as rosy for Arsenal as Walcott claims it to be. The Gunners were embarrassingly defeated 3-1 at home by Monaco and they failed to clear the Champions League round-of-16 despite winning 2-0 away to the French side. Arsenal were eliminated from the last-16 stage of the Champions League for a fifth straight season. <!--Article End--></p>
