Ramsey, Wilshere hold key to Gunners' hopes of title victory
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says in-form midfielders have been a revelation this season and could help them win the campaign
Arsene Wenger believes the goal-threat posed by in-form midfielders Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere will be key to Arsenal's prospects of winning the Premier League.
Wenger's league leaders will travel to Cardiff on Saturday on the back of an impressive Champions League victory over Marseille that was secured by two Wilshere goals.
That took the England international's season tally to four, but his midfield partner Ramsey has been in even more prolific form, the Welshman netting 11 times this term. Wilshere's opening goal against Marseille was especially eye-catching and Gunners boss Wenger said: "I must say I was even surprised by the way he took that goal. That shows his belief in his finishing has gone up a lot.
"We have him and Ramsey, who can score now, and that's a huge improvement. Before we had Ramsey, two goals per year and Wilshere, two goals per year. To see them scoring goals is magnificent."
While Wilshere took the honours midweek, Ramsey - who returns to his former club this weekend - has been Arsenal's outstanding player during their surge to the top of the table.

The Gunners moved four points clear following last weekend's victory over Southampton and they will look to cement their position at the top against a Cardiff team who held champions Manchester United to a draw last weekend.
