Arsenal boss Wenger has sympathy for Grant over West Ham pressure

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is sorry to see Avram Grant under pressure at West Ham United.

Grant is fighting hard to avoid joining the casualty list and ahead of Arsenal's trip to Upton Park. Wenger said: "It is the new landscape of the Premier League - I don't like it but it looks like the future of the League will be less stable for managers than it was. Certainly, though, it is cyclical and people will realise changing managers doesn't work and it will change again.

"The difference between 12th place and the bottom of the League is two or three points - that is one game so you cannot draw any conclusion of weakness from their position in the League because nobody is bad enough to be away from the others.

"It is a very compact field and that makes it very interesting and exciting and makes every game very competitive. West Ham produce good games and have not always had the luck. They lack a bit of stability in the number of players they have available."
