Arsenal boss Wenger: Ambitious clubs have shook up Premier League

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says the ambitions of clubs outside the top four have shaken up the Premier League.

Arsenal have lost four times in the Premier League and Wenger accepts the margins for further error are thin if they are to stand any chance of overhauling Chelsea and Manchester United.

"When you are manager, you never think that you can afford a blip, but when we were 11 points behind Chelsea, we definitely could not," he said.

"I still believe that today, but now we are in a position to take advantage of the other teams dropping points."

Wenger continued: "Something has deeply changed in the Premier League.

"There are now more teams aspiring to be in the top four. Already at the start, financially the desire is there.

"The message given to the players at Manchester City, at Tottenham, at Aston Villa, is: 'now, we want to go in there'. That has changed completely the structure."
