Wenger: No title pressure on Arsenal - everyone wrote us off

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists there's no pressure on his title-chasing team as everyone has wrote them off.

Victory over West Ham United has Arsenal top of the table.

But the Gunners could, of course, be back down to third should both United and Chelsea, but after another brave display, Wenger's youngsters remain very much in the hunt for a first title since the Invincibles campaign of 2003/2004.

Wenger said: "We are not under any special pressure because we are beyond expectation.

"We want to win the trophy because we are all conscious we have won nothing yet - the hunger is there, the talent is there and I think the nerves are there.

"All we can do is rely on the other results of the other teams, so the only thing we can do is master our own results.

"We have a good chance to do it this year. It will be exciting, tight and the response we gave today in the second half was very important in future games."

West Ham, meanwhile, remain deep in trouble.
