A genuine challenge for the Barclays Premier League title is still the goal, says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, despite the loss of Cesc Fabregas through injury for up to four months. Wenger said: "I believe we are able to do it (without him).

"We have to find a way and we want to find a way to compensate for the fact that he is not on the pitch to give everyone a bit more.

"I'm sure we can deal with it. When he comes back he can help us get over the line in the final months."
