No distractions for Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will not concern himself with whatever issues are facing rival boss Jose Mourinho at Chelsea when the two men go head-to-head again this afternoon.

Chelsea head into the televised clash in need of a kick-start to their Barclays Premier League campaign, which has seen the champions beaten three times already and down in 17th place.

While there may have been speculation concerning reported dressing room unrest and just how Mourinho sets about overhauling what is considered to be an ageing squad, Wenger will focus on getting the best out of his own players.
