Wenger pours cold water on title prospects

QPR v Arsenal Tonight: Loftus Road, 7.45pm Referee: Kevin Friend Betting: QPR 11/2, Arsenal 9/15 Draw 31/10 Arsene Wenger believes his Arsenal side are currently "nowhere near" being involved in the race for the Premier League title — but believes a consistent run could change all that.

The Gunners currently sit third in the Premier League and are nine points adrift of league-leaders Chelsea, with Manchester City four points clear in second spot.

The chase for the top four has closed up in recent weeks with Arsenal likely to come under heavy pressure from the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham and Southampton in the hunt for Champions League qualification.
