Arsene Wenger gives take on Arsenal's top four hopes - and proves he's still a Gunner

Arsene Wenger thinks Arsenal's top four hopes received a crucial blow following Manchester United's draw with Chelsea on Sunday.

The game at Old Trafford came hours after Unai Emery's Gunners lost 3-0 at Leicester , with Ainsley Maitland-Niles sent off in the first period and the Foxes striking three times in the second half through Youri Tielemans and a late Jamie Vardy brace.

The result left the Gunners in fifth place in the table, with United and Chelsea then playing out a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

Juan Mata opened the scoring after just 11 minutes at Old Trafford, before an error from David de Gea allowed Marcos Alonso in to equalise for the visitors shortly before the break.

And Wenger - who took his team into the Champions League in 19 successive seasons between 1998/99 and 2016/17 - now fears for his former side, wven though he still referred to the Gunners as 'we' and 'us' during a chat on BeIN Sports .

"The result is bad for Arsenal because we now... lost the last three games, you know?" he said.

"And let's hope we can come back, but the Chelsea result was not great for us."
