Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is hopeful of ending the clubs trophy-less streak after beating Leeds 3-1 to move into the fourth round of the FA Cup last night.
The Frenchman has been at the helm of the North London club since 1996 and led the club to their most successful period in the Premier League, winning the league three times and lifting the FA cup four times.
But that success has become a distant memory as the last piece of silverware to enter the Arsenal trophy case was the FA Cup in 2005.
Now Wenger is keen to build on the progress his side have made this season – bigfreebet see his side as amongst the favourites for the title with the Gunners sitting just two points off league leaders Manchester United – and bring the glory days back to the Emirates Stadium.
He said: “The team goes from strength to strength and we have shown again tonight we are hungry.”
Wenger’s side face a tough task of adding the Carling Cup to their impressive haul under Wenger however; they currently trail Ipswich 1-0 after the first leg at Portman Road, although big free bet will still likely see them as favourites to progress after the second leg on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Wenger and club-captain Cesc Fábregas have moved to deny any rift after reports this week suggested Arsenal player Denilson was unhappy with Fabregas’s style of captaincy.
“We have a shared leadership in our team but I believe Fábregas is an outstanding leader, especially when you consider he's 23 years old, with personality and character, and Van Persie (club vice-captain) as well.” Commented the Arsenal boss.
Fábregas had earlier posted a picture of himself with Denilson in an attempt to diffuse any speculation surrounding the pair.
