West Ham boss Allardyce defends underfire Wenger

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has jumped to the defence of Arsenal's Arsene Wenger.

Wenger remains under pressure to end Arsenal's trophy drought, as well as fighting off the challenge of Everton for the fourth Champions League spot.

But Allardyce feels the Frenchman can silence the critics by finishing the season with both.

"The man's career history speaks for itself," said Allardyce. "People may have been disappointed that he hasn't won anything over the last few years but he can put that right this year with an FA Cup final appearance.

"A lot of the focus is finishing in the Champions League but also making sure they win the FA Cup. And if he does both, compared to the other years, he will have had a more successful season."
