Arsene Wenger: Arsenal must remain "realistic" about title hopes

Arsene Wenger says that winning the Premier League title remains Arsenal's target this season, but admits that it will be tough to do so.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has warned his players not to get carried away by their impressive recent form, claiming that the club must remain "realistic" in their aims for this season.

The Gunners have won eight of their last 10 games in all competitions to keep their hopes of success alive on three fronts, including an impressive 2-0 victory away at champions Manchester City last time out in the Premier League.

However, Arsenal still remain some 14 points behind leaders Chelsea with games fast running out.

"[A title challenge] is our target, but we have to be realistic," Wenger told reporters. "What we want is to win every game we can, but at the moment we are 14 points behind Chelsea, they need to lose five games, and they have lost only two until now.

"What we want to do is focus on our performances and show that we can produce consistent results. After, where we will finish, it is difficult to say."

Arsenal return to action this afternoon when they play host to Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium.
