London: Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger compared the Premier League to “a jungle” yesterday saying every day was a fight for survival. The 66-year-old Frenchman — whose side are on a hot streak of form with seven successive wins in all competitions — will hope his players heed such words when they host Middlesbrough on today.


Victory over ‘Boro would move them top of the table three points clear of Manchester City, who play tomorrow. “I believe that humility is to understand that you start again from zero and that you are in a jungle,” said Wenger. “We live in a jungle where everybody wants to eat you and you have to survive by keeping your vigilance. That’s what competition is about. Every day you have to fight again to survive. The love to win and the competitiveness of the Premier League is very exciting.”


Both Chile star Sanchez and German great Ozil’s contracts run till 2018 — the latter is the best paid player at the club — and there has been speculation talks were being held up because the duo wanted huge pay rises because of the fall in the pound.
