Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is fully aware of the fact that even if the Gunners are still fighting for both the Premiership and the Champions League, there is still something missing this season after they lost four times – twice against Manchester United and twice against Chelsea – in the English Premiership.

Speaking on this after his side’s 5-0 win against Porto, the Frenchman declared it would be a good opportunity if they are to be drawn against English team as it would be their chance to show that they are on the same level of the other two teams.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said:

I have a funny feeling, maybe it’s good for us to play an English team. We have not done well against Chelsea and not done well against Man Utd. this year and it would be a good opportunity to show that we can do it against them.

[On Bendtner] How quickly football changes. I hope that will not give him too much confidence but I am happy for him. He had a good game on Saturday but missed plenty of chances and three days later he has less chances and scores three goals. It’s good for his confidence and I hope it will give him the desire to work even harder.
