Arsenal boss
Arsene Wenger insists they can
afford defeat at Chelsea today
and still win the league.
After seeing his side claw back a similar deficit after they
were outmuscled by Carlo
Ancelotti's men in front of their own fans at the end
of November, Wenger remains defiant.
"Of course, the result on Sunday will have an importance, but it
won't be over," the Arsenal
manager insisted.
"We will fight until the last second of the season because you
can see that everybody drops points.
"At the end of the day it could be down to the team which
believes more than the others."
Wenger was exasperated by the timid manner of last weekend's
capitulation to Manchester
United and is determined a similar abject display
will not follow at Stamford Bridge.
The Arsenal boss added: "The
most important is that we don't come out of the game with a feeling
that we didn't really have a go at them.
"I believe that if we play at our level, at our best, we will
beat them. It is as simple as that."
