Fourth-placed Arsenal have slipped nine points off leaders Chelsea following successive away defeats but Wenger says there is time to make amends and, most significantly make up ground, adding: “We have just lost two games, of course it’s tough, but Man City didn’t win for six, Tottenham for four or five, Manchester United as well. “All the teams go through that. It’s the teams who responded well together who have the most successful seasons. “In 20 years I have had very few seasons where you start on the motorway and you finish on the motorway with no car in front of you.” Tony Pulis is ready to have a Christmas drink with Wenger although the pair have been in a running feud for six years. “That’s down to him,” said Pulis. “It’s all according to what wine he will produce.”

The two have had a cool relationship since the Gunners’ boss slammed Pulis’ ‘rugby tactics’ at Stoke.

But Pulis believes Wenger could end his barren spell in the Premier League this time around saying: “They have a wonderful squad and one well capable of winning the title this season. Yes there will always be criticism that they should have won more titles.

“But he has done a fantastic

job.”
