Wenger: 'We can still win league'

Arsene Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger still thinks his team has the potential to win the Premier league despite losing twice in Manchester recently.

Arsenal are currently seventh in the league with nine points, half as many as leaders Chelsea who have played one game more.

Wenger said: 'You know, we came out of the two games at Man City and Man United with a feeling that we have massive potential and that this season was about how much we make of our potential, not how good we are.

'That's the feeling we got out of the two games and that's what we want to transform - our potential into a realistic option to win the Premiership.'

Arsenal bounced back from their two defeats in Manchester by coming from two goals down to beat Standard Liege 3-2 away in the Champions League, and then thrashed Wigan 4-0 at home in the Premier League.

They will be hoping for another good performance to stay in touch with the leaders when they travel to Fulham on Saturday.
