We're doing well, insists Wenger, after another season with no silverware

Arsene Wenger believes his team have made huge strides this season despite theprospect of another summer reflecting on a trophyless campaign. The Gunners head into tomorrow's clash with Chelsea at Emirates Stadium with just three Barclays Premier League games to play before heading off on their summer break left to look back on another season which failed to deliver silverware. Too many defeats during the opening weeks of the league meant a title bid never really got off the ground, although an impressive unbeaten run since November 22 has seen them secure fourth place ahead of Aston Villa and with it another crack at Europe's elite club competition.

A young Arsenal side impressed as they reached the last eight of the Carling Cup, while the first-team regulars improved on their showing in the Champions League - not conceding a goal at home until eventually being outclassed by holders Manchester United over two legs in the semi-finals - while it was Chelsea who ended chances of an FA Cup final appearance at the end of the season with victory at Wembley last month. ARSENAL v Chelsea: Arshavin a doubt as Champions League losers face up at EmiratesAlmunia tells Wenger: Gunners won't win anything unless you splash cash ARSENAL FC
