Arsenal boss Wenger refuses to be drawn into Man City title talk

Speaking after Arsenal's 0-0 draw with West Ham United, Arsene Wenger has refused to comment on whether the title race is over.

Rival managers, including Mauricio Pochettino, Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho, have conceded that the Manchester City have all but lifted the Premier League trophy.

He said: "I don't want to talk about that [title race]. It's good to make headlines, but we need to focus on our next game. City is too far away to talk about the title at the moment."

"There's one thing that we are far away but it's another thing to just give up. You don't give up. Our job is to fight as long as we can and give our best. It's not to focus too much on anything else.

"I don't listen to all that stuff too much. You want to fight, our job is to fight and to continue to give everything and then see where you finish.

"You know very well what's going on with City. We faced that problem with City like everyone else in the league."

Arsenal will need an upturn in results during the Christmas period if they are to have any hope of finishing in the top four, let alone competing for the title.
