Arsenal boss Wenger fires Christmas WARNING to Chelsea, Man City

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is convinced both Chelsea and Manchester City will soon stumble in the title race.Arsenal are 15 points behind Premier League pace setters Chelsea but Wenger insists the gruelling demands of the festive fixture list could undermine Jose Mourinho and Manuel Pellegrini.

It has left Wenger dreaming that Arsenal could yet pull back into the title race even though it looks like they need a Christmas miracle to save their Premier League campaign.

Gunners boss Wenger said: "Let's see how the schedule goes over Christmas. We'll have a much better idea at the beginning of January. It can still change.

"I say 'let's wait'. The next three or four games are important. Chelsea will be in the fight for the title, for sure.

"Will it only be Chelsea and Man City? Today you can say maybe, but it is still a long way. Chelsea plays Champions League, Man City do as well, then you have the FA Cup and Chelsea play in the League Cup. There is still a lot to go.

"But what is for sure, the teams like us and around us, they need to be massively consistent to have a chance to come back."
