“I don’t know if that’s to City – that’s down to media speculation and I don’t know where that comes from”, Wenger insisted. “They just thought it was normal that we won at Leicester, but ever since you have been able to see that it was a great result and a great performance on the day”.

Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola has emerged as a potential replacement for Arsene Wenger – but he won’t join Arsenal until 2017.

“The number of goals scored and goals conceded, the number of passes made, percentage of possession, is all very close”.

“I do not want to assess the situation of Chelsea, it’s not my problem and not my interest”. We played against Barcelona with top teams, but very inexperienced and very young.

Pressed whether he also had sympathy for the 52-year-old’s plight he would only say: “I just gave you a good answer”.

“Maybe, there is a slight chance for Alexis to be in the squad again but it is too early to be sure about it”, Wenger was quoted as saying in The Guardian.

“He is running, but not participating in full training”.

“They need to keep their best players fit and Giroud has become a key component of their first-choice team”.

“It is not trust in a negative way when I say all of them”. But some of them are so keen to forget that they are hurt that they say “I am alright” when they are not. Sanchez injured his hamstring on 29 November and has not played since.
