Arsenal calm on title hopes as Man City clash awaits

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was only looking ahead to his side's next challenge in the Premier League after going top of the table.

The Gunners made their way to the summit after Sunday's 2-0 win at Aston Villa but can still finish the round of matches in second if Leicester City happen to beat Chelsea on Monday night.

Regarding his side's title hopes, Wenger was keeping a lid on things especially seeing as the North Londoners take on current second-placed side Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium next week.

"Let's see tomorrow, if Leicester beat Chelsea they have a very good chance to be top at Christmas," said the Frenchman.

"It's a big game, we want to win at home and beat City at home. We have eight days to prepare. It will be an interesting one but we at least can recover first and prepare then.

"I was a bit anxious today because we had given a lot on Wednesday (at Olympiacos) and came back very late on Thursday morning. I knew Villa were fighting to survive."
