Wenger determined Arsenal season will not drift to an end

Arsene Wenger is determined the season will not end with more disappointment and a failure to qualify for the Champions League next term. Arsenal head into Sunday's clash against Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester United with just one win in seven games, which has dropped them down behind Chelsea into third place.

Indeed now, FA Cup finalists Manchester City and Tottenham are ready to take advantage of Gunners slip-ups in the remaining four games.

The Frenchman is determined that cannot happen.

"We will be faithful to the attitude we have shown all season and we want to finish in the Champions League, which is not decided yet," he told Arsenal TV Online.

"We really have to watch Manchester City, because that [third place] is not done - even to be in the top four is not done.

"We have absolutely to fight like mad.

"It is not a massive concern, but if Tottenham come back, Manchester City will drop because they play each other or Chelsea will drop.

"Our focus is to win the games. We want to finish as close as possible to the top, it would be a shame not to do that."
