Wenger focusing on domestic matters

ARSENE WENGER has called on his Arsenal players to focus on beating West Ham to go top of the Premier League this evening rather than be distracted by their glamour Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona.

With former Arsenal captain Thierry Henry now plying his trade at the Nou Camp and current Gunners skipper Cesc Fabregas to return to face his boyhood club, the tie certainly captures the imagination.

However, Wenger insists his squad must concentrate on getting the right result when the struggling Hammers come to Emirates Stadium for today’s late kick-off – where victory would see Arsenal leapfrog Manchester United and Chelsea, who are both not in action until tomorrow.
