Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has insisted that his side are still capable of challenging for honours this season ahead of their clash against Manchester United.

The Gunners have had an inconsistent start to the Premier League season and have suffered back-to-back defeats in the Champions League to Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiacos.

However, Wenger has insisted that his side can get their season back on track in their match against United at the Emirates Stadium.

He told reporters: "We are still in the Champions League, we are not out of the Champions League. Everybody writes us out, but we are not out.

"We have a big game at home [against United] and the advantage is to win the big game at home.

"It is the first maybe massive game for the top of the table. Without the home form, you don't win the championship, that is for sure."

Arsenal are sixth in the Premier League ahead of their match against United later today.
