Arsene Wenger puts Arsenal title talk on hold

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has challenged his squad to put any dreams of a late charge for the Premier League to bed and focus instead on the cold reality of winning at Burnley today.

The Gunners head to Turf Moor in search of what would be an eighth straight league victory, following on from last weekend’s 4-1 triumph over Liverpool.

Despite their superb run, which has seen confidence grow after some 15 wins in the last 17 through all competitions, the title remains Chelsea’s to lose, as the leaders currently hold a seven-point advantage and also a match in hand.
