London: Beleaguered Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger challenged his players to win every game between now and the end of the season to keep alive faint hopes of a top-four Premier League finish.
Seven league wins is the only way the Frenchman reckons that Arsenal can secure a Champions League place after ending a run of four away league defeats with a 2-1 victory over struggling Middlesbrough on Monday. "We have to win every game to have a chance to get in the top four," said Wenger, who has yet to finish outside the top four in his 21-year reign. "And that run starts with this win over Middlesbrough. The end of the season will come very quickly and it is up to us to finish strongly.

"We can do that, but also we will have to &mdash; had we not won against Middlesbrough I would have conceded that the top four was beyond us." Wenger switched personnel and formation as he looked to put an end to one of the worst runs in his managerial career &mdash; making six changes and playing three at the back for the first time since 1997.
"Yes, I did something I had not done in 20 years &mdash; but that just goes to show that even at my age I can still change," he smiled. "I went with three at the back to give more reassurance to the team," he added.
