Wenger calls for final push

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes his side will win the Premier League title if they can remain unbeaten for the rest of the season.

A run of four successive draws has seen the Gunners slip three points behind current leaders Manchester United with only eight matches of the season remaining.

However, Wenger's team have lost only one league game all season and travel to Chelsea for Sunday's crunch clash between the two London sides with the Frenchman in good heart.

He insists: "I feel that since the beginning of the season we have been the most consistent team.

"We have lost just one game and that was under very special circumstances, so that consistency will come out for good at the end of the season.

"If we win our big games and if we continue to be consistent, then I am sure we will finish in front of the other sides.

"I cannot imagine we will lose the league if we have lost only one game at the end of the season.

"We have got the strength of character to win the title, believe me. That is my firm belief and at the game on Sunday you will see.

"Since the first day of the season I have said that I believe in this team, come back in May and we will speak about it then."
