Wenger: Arsenal 20 years ahead of Tottenham

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists they're "20 years" ahead of Tottenham.

The two face off in the North London derby this weekend.

Wenger said: “I think so. You cannot say that the weight of one year has the weight of 20.

“Let's be honest, I've answered that question about a shift in power over 18 consecutive years. Nothing changes in that.

“But when you finish 20 years above them, it's not important and now suddenly it becomes important. Yes, it matters, of course. We want to be stronger than Spurs, we want to be stronger than everybody.

“It's a question I answer for 20 years. First of all, we are not there. Let's see how it finishes at the end of the season."
