Arsene Wenger enjoys Champions League qualification pressure

Wenger enjoys qualification pressure

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that he enjoys the pressure of qualifying for the Champions League.

The Gunners travel to Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday knowing that a win would see them enter Europe's top club competition next season.

However, if they drop points, fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur can capitalise with a victory at home to Sunderland.

"The pressure is big, of course, but I always said the worst [thing] in my job is to play games without any pressure," Wenger told reporters. "We have what we wanted, so let's just finish the job."

Arsenal go into the match at St James' Park on the back of Tuesday's 4-1 triumph against Wigan Athletic at the Emirates Stadium.
