With Manuel Pellegirni showing inconsistency in a star studded Manchester City team, it is speculated that he will be let go at the end of the season and the former Barcelona boss will be taking over. “They are going through a hard time, but they are not in a relegation battle”, said Wenger.
Asked if the manager also gives him that belief, Wenger added: “As well. It’s important that I do not comment on what’s going on in the Premier League but that I focus on the game on Monday night”. This has encouraged the blue side of Manchester to race for the signature of one of the most coveted managers.
Sanchez injured his hamstring at Norwich City on 29 November and has not played since.
Alexis returned to Chile for two weeks after suffering the injury at Carrow Road and there was even some acceptance at Arsenal that the rest might do him some good. He has not returned to full training yet but with the game still four days away, Wenger did not rule him out of playing a part at the Emirates. “He has become an absolutely unbelievable player”.
“It is not trust in a negative way when I say all of them”.
“Players who can make you score have something special on the vision front and the technical front”. Some of them are so keen to forget that they have pain somewhere that they say they are all right when they are not.
“I do not want to assess any other things about Chelsea”, he said.
‘It’s a compliment. You want everyone to want to play.

‘I believe that it’s normal for a player that he wants to play, ‘ said Wenger of his forward, who always looks keen to be on the pitch.
