LONDON, (Reuters) – Arsenal are still playing catch-up to Chelsea but the in-from Gunners will be ready to pounce if the leaders suffer from some end of season yips, manager Arsene Wenger said yesterday.
Arsenal are riding high in the Premier League and have shot up to second with 63 points from 31 matches after last weekend’s 4-1 victory against Liverpool.
Table-topping Chelsea still boast a seven-point and a game in hand advantage over the Gunners, but Wenger hopes his side can maintain an impressive run of form that has seen them win 10 of their last 11 league matches.
“We still have many challenges until the end of the season,” Wenger told a news conference.
“It is interesting that we are in good form, and it’s interesting that we have a good team dynamic. Hopefully we can maintain that until the end of the season.
