Wenger: No easy points this season

ARSENE WENGER has warned his Arsenal team not to expect any “easy points” in their battle for the Barclays Premier League crown.

The Gunners head to bottom club Portsmouth tomorrow night following a morale-boosting 3-0 victory over fourth-placed Aston Villa, which moved them to within touching distance of leaders Chelsea.

While the result was somewhat overshadowed by a possible fresh hamstring injury to captain Cesc Fabregas – who came off the bench to inspire his team with a second-half brace before then being substituted as a precaution – a fourth league win from five has dragged Arsenal right back into contention.
