Wenger warns Arsenal players: Don´t dream about catching Chelsea

Arsene Wenger says Arsenal must not dream about catching Premier League leaders Chelsea in the title race and instead focus purely on getting a statement victory against Liverpool.

Fourth-placed Arsenal are 13 points behind Chelsea with a game in hand going into Saturday’s crucial match against Jurgen Klopp’s side at Anfield.

Wenger concedes the Gunners are due a victory in a big game and stressed the importance of the match to the players as they look to build a four-point lead over the Reds.

But while he is not ruling out a late charge for the title, Wenger wants to ensure Chelsea are not the team in Arsenal’s minds on Merseyside.

„We have a game in hand and things can change quickly, but we have to focus on our next game,“ the Arsenal manager told reporters.

Wenger continued: „It is even more important because we have not done well recently in these kind of games. For us, this kind of game at Liverpool is of course an opportunity that we want to take.
