WENGER: THE TITLE CAN STILL BE OURS
By Julia White for express.co.uk
ARSENE Wenger hasn't given up hope of winning the Premier League title this season.
Speaking ahead of Arsenal's trip to Liverpool tonight, Wenger says he won't be satisfied consolidating fourth spot.
He said: “Winning is what we live for. We cannot be happy with only trying to remain fourth.
“We want to get closer to the top and have a good opportunity to come back to six points (deficit) on Liverpool.
“Third place is important, second place is important and why not first? You never know."
Wenger wants his young Arsenal side to focus on the challenges ahead over the final six weeks of the season rather than reflecting on what might have been.
He added: “We have to accept what happened on Saturday [in the 2-1 FA Cup defeat], to deal with it and not repeat it. “We have many big games coming up and we feel we can win them. You do not want to have regrets. We want to win every single game, no matter what competition we play in.
The Gunners, already without several key defenders, will travel to Anfield missing Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor, who has a slight hamstring problem, while leading scorer Robin van Persie is absent with a groin strain.
Full-back Bacary Sagna has recovered from a virus and could feature, and fit-again Croatia forward Eduardo could come into the attack.
Despite a nightmare display on what was his 24th birthday in Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea, Poland international Lukasz Fabianski will again deputise in goal for Manuel Almunia (ankle).
Liverpool could go two points clear of Manchester United at the top of the table if they win, while Arsenal - unbeaten in 18 Barclays Premier League games - will be looking to consolidate fourth place and also claw back the deficit on the sides above them.
He wants the campaign finished off in style as his team also seek to reach the Champions League final at the expense of holders United.
He added: “Of course we are disappointed having lost in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, but we want to bounce back quickly.
“We have so many important targets in front of us and want to focus on that.” -

did he meant e Champions League title?
-
he is in denial.

i think whoever can hit 85 points will win the title. Chelsea need to win all remaining games to achieve that. Liverpool are definitely within reach provided their defence shores up. Man U are within better reach. Well, see how the game goes tonight.

what kind of heavy psychedelics has he been smoking?
frankly, even if they win the rest of their matches, i can't see the other teams screw up more than once..
