Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is dead against reducing the size of the Premier League.

Despite his concerns over the standards of the competition, Wenger would not be in favour of cutting the size of the Premier League to help reduce the workload.

"I wouldn't go that far because it would be an easy excuse and you would really kill a country that is football orientated with two more clubs out of the league," he said.

"[When] they made it only 25 players in a squad, it was detrimental to the quality. It creates a lot of jobless people, it stops clubs taking a gamble that could sometimes be a help and I felt that was a very bad decision.

"I would not like to see the responsibility shifted somewhere else, though. We are in the clubs and we have to fight with it.

"When it goes well it goes well, this season did not go well. Maybe the clubs have to up the quality of their game."
