Arsene Wenger has urged his Arsenal team to pounce on Manchester United's slip-up in the EPL title race.
Wenger insists his "obsession" is beating Sunderland at Emirates Stadium today after United's midweek loss at Chelsea left the Gunners trailing by four points with a game in hand.
Wenger wants his players to put Tuesday night's Champions League showdown with Barcelona out of their minds and concentrate on domestic issues.
"The championship is very important. Personally, I cannot believe we play Barcelona next week because my obsession is really Sunderland," he said.
"The obsession is more than the Champions League because for me it's highly important that we take advantage of our situation in the Premier League.
We battled everywhere since the start of the season against many specialist opinions that we have no chance at all. Now that we are in this situation, it would be very dramatic if we would not consider the importance of the game on Saturday."
'Toure took wife's pill'
Man City defender Kolo Toure failed a drugs test after taking his wife's diet pill, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said yesterday. "He wants to control his weight a little bit and took the product of his wife. Never trust your wife. That is how he was caught," said Wenger. Toure could face a lengthy ban and is currently suspended from playing for City.
