Wenger calls for simultaneous kick-offs for final three games

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is suggesting there should be no staggered kick-off times for those club's chasing the Premier league title. At the moment, simultaneous kick-offs only take place on the last day of the campaign.

The Frenchman said: "I think they should make each team's last three fixtures all kick off at the same time, not just the last one.

"There are advantages and disadvantages to kicking off later than the other teams. If you kick off later than your rivals and they have lost, then you are in a more comfortable situation.

"Psychologically it can give you a lift, and it's true that it can apply for us or Manchester United or Chelsea, but I think it would be better not to give any team this advantage.

"Weekends where you win and your opponents lose become absolutely pivotal now."
