Liverpool Loss At Weekend Won't Spell End Of Their Title Challenge - Arsene Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists that Liverpool's title challenge will not be ended should Manchester United inflict a further defeat upon them this weekend.

Rafael Benitez's Reds have already been defeated four times in the Premier League this season, twice as many as last year in the same competition.

However, Wenger alluded to how the race for the crown will be more fiercely contested than previous campaigns, and that it could be easier to play your way back into contention.

"Last year, the margins were more difficult," the Frenchman is quoted by the club's official website as saying.

"Because Liverpool lost only two games, and now we are nine games played and United have lost only once but they have drawn one too.

"Last season, the situation was more difficult. We had lost five after 14 games. But then we had the longest unbeaten run in the Premier League but it was not enough any more."
