Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has challenged his players to remain unbeaten to the end of the season.

Saturday's match against Stoke at the Britannia Stadium represents one of the toughest tests the Gunners will face in their final 11 games but Wenger has challenged his men to go through them unbeaten.

"We know that that target (of staying unbeaten) is there but the only way to reach it is to start by trying to win the next game," he said.

"Let's be realistic, pragmatic, ambitious, but also humble and hungry enough to understand that what people say about our run-in is one thing, but what happens on the pitch is most important.

"It will be very tight. At the moment, mathematically, Chelsea are in a strong position but they have difficult games to play, they have to combine the European programme, FA Cup games and the championship.

"It will be very tight until the end."
