Wenger relaxed over Champions League qualification for Arsenal

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is confident his squad have the necessary experience to win the battle for Champions League qualification once again. The Frenchman believes the fight for a top-four finish will, as in previous campaigns, go down to the wire, when Arsenal have historically come good for the past 17 seasons.

"Yes, of course, experience will play a big part in it," Wenger said. "It will be tight for everybody and that is what it is about.

"It is about the team with the most consistency - I have always said that - and I feel we have shown that we can deal with that kind of pressure in the past.

"I am confident we can do it again. Every year (there is a danger of not finishing in the top four) and every year we were under threat until the last game, basically. (But) every year we have managed to do it.

"We have a good opportunity to show that we have the strength to deal with that pressure and I am completely convinced we have the quality (to do it)."
