Wenger: I'll go distance in title race - 12 Nov 2007
Arsene Wenger has warned Sir Alex Ferguson, Avram Grant and Rafa Benitez his young guns are ready to go the distance in their title bid.
The Arsenal boss rested eight first-teamers for the Champions League draw against Sparta Prague which sealed a place in the knockout stages.
Those eight players, including Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor, are set to return at Reading on Monday - a match which the Gunners want to win to maintain Premier League top spot.
But Wenger, 58, insists he never wants to rest and that the others will have to try to keep up.
"I don't need a break," he said. "I'm a marathon runner.
"We are top of the league with a game in hand. We go to Reading on Monday but Manchester United have to win three points against Blackburn.
"It's important for us to start winning again after two draws. But the luxury is that we only need to focus on our results. We don't need to look at others." |
