Arsenal can still have a major say in the Premier League title race, according to Olivier Giroud.

Podolski opened his Arsenal account in the 2-0 win at Liverpool before the last international break. The German, signed from Cologne in an £11m deal, feels Giroud can now play with more freedom when the domestic action begins again with a trip to Norwich on 20th October. "Everybody wants goals from strikers and it was not easy for Olivier," said Podolski. "You must wait for your chance, keep fighting and the goals will come."
