Wenger: We have our own history to create

ARSENE WENGER has called on his Arsenal team not to let the club’s 125th anniversary celebrations detract them from delivering a match-winning performance against Everton today.

The Gunners yesterday unveiled statues to three legends — record-goalscorer Thierry Henry, Double-winning captain Tony Adams and former manager Herbert Chapman — as part of a weekend of tributes, which include a guard of honour for some more famous club personalities ahead of kick-off at the Emirates.

However, with his current team looking to maintain their upturn in form and close in on the top four, Wenger insists once the whistle goes, everyone must concentrate on the game in hand.
