Nevertheless, a defiant Wenger insists his young side can still
show their true worth by producing a shock win when they return to
Old Trafford, where a draw would be good enough for the Red Devils'
record-equalling 18th championship following their late 2-1 victory
at Wigan on Wednesday night.
"We have a very promising team who can deliver very soon,"
insisted Wenger.
"If you look at the statistics of the two teams, we have scored
a similar amount of goals. In the passing quality in the final
third and in the opposition half, we are as good as Manchester
United.
"We have conceded more goals and that is where the difference
lies; we have conceded 36, they have conceded 24, we have scored
64, they have scored 67.
"Offensively, I do not believe there is a difference.
Defensively, there was a difference."
Wenger added on the title: "It looks like it will be Manchester
United, but we can still delay it. We have a point to prove,
definitely.
"We want to play for our pride and be respected for who we are,
that is people who love the game they play.
"We promised ourselves on January 1 we would give everything in
every game until the end of the season.
"That is where we can show we are capable to do that."
