Wenger wants harder edge to Gunners

ARSENE WENGER accepts it is time for Arsenal to address their reputation as a soft touch against their main rivals.

The Gunners’ record when facing Chelsea and Manchester United is abysmal, losing 14 of their 18 encounters since 2007 and registering only two victories.

Chelsea visit Emirates Stadium on Monday night hoping to secure a sixth successive victory over their London rivals having scored 13 goals in their previous five games.
