McLeish: Pressure part of the game

Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish believes the pressure being applied to his Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger is “all part of the game” ahead of tomorrow’s FA Cup clash at the Emirates Stadium.

Wenger came in for strong criticism from Gunners fans after substituting Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain during the closing stages of last weekend’s home clash with Manchester United.

Arsenal’s 2-1 setback was also their third defeat in a row and are facing a battle to secure a Champions League spot.
