Wenger gunning for Man U

London, Mar 3 (ANI): Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is eyeing the FA Cup and the Premier League title.
Chelsea’s victory over leaders United on Tuesday threw the Premier League title race wide open.
Arsenal can overhaul United if they win their game in hand and beat them at home on May 1.
“We are very much in the race. If we win our games, it depends on us. We’ll give it absolutely everything as the League is the most important trophy for us,” The Sun quoted Wenger, as saying.
“We play Man United at home and we will see where we stand then. We dropped points at the start but since November, we are consistent at home. That will be vital,” he said.
“The run-in is tight and I don’t rule out Chelsea or Man City. If we maintain our consistency, we have a very good chance,” Wenger added.
Nicklas Bendtner’s hat trick and strikes from Marouane Chamakh and sub Gael Clichy saw off Orient in this fifth-round replay as Arsenal bounced back from the Carling Cup final loss to Birmingham, The Sun reports.
That booked a trip to Old Trafford on March 12 and Wenger said: “It was important to have a response after what happened. We didn’t give them any chance.” (ANI)
