Arsene Wenger backs Arsenal to finish the season on a high

Arsene Wenger is confident that Arsenal can finish the season on a high by winning the FA Cup and securing a top-four finish.

The Gunners have fallen off the pace in the Premier League in recent weeks after a run of just one win in six outings dropped them down to fourth in the fable.

Arsenal take on Wigan in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley on Saturday – and the Frenchman is backing his side to improve during the closing stages of the season.

“You can always improve in our game,” said Wenger. “When results are not as good, you always think you can improve.

“There is no perfect team and we will always try to improve our squad and our team.

“This season we lost key players at big important moments of the season, but we have to just to focus on finishing as well as we can.

“We are in a position where we can still do very well until the end of the season, that is what we want.

“It is not about next season, it is about this season.”
