Wenger - Arsenal face `very important' month
Arsene Wenger accepts Arsenal are embarking on a "decisive time" as they look to secure a place in the last 16 of the Champions League with victory against Partizan Belgrade and stay one step ahead in the race for domestic glory.
The Gunners went top of the Barclays Premier League after they beat Fulham on Saturday and Manchester United had their match at Blackpool postponed while Chelsea dropped another two points in the 1-1 draw with Everton.
After what he hopes will be negotiating safe passage out of Group H against the struggling Serbians, Wenger takes his men up to Old Trafford for next Monday night's live encounter.
The festive schedule is set to throw up some fascinating encounters as United head to Stamford Bridge the week before Christmas, while Chelsea are at Arsenal on December 27.
"December will be a very important month for us and for everybody," said Wenger. "When you look at the fixtures, it looks like it is a decisive time for everybody at the same moment in this league.
"The fixtures of Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal are all very big in December."
