With arguably their biggest game of the season coming up tomorrow against Premiership leaders Chelsea, manager Arsène Wenger wants his players to take the pressure off themselves and just 'go for it'.

The Frenchman explained that nobody expected his team to be in the title race and yet here they are with an opportunity to half the gap at the top should they win at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.

Wenger said: "I believe we should be more relaxed at this time because at the start of the season nobody expected us in the top four or in the title race.

"Now, instead of being intimidated, I believe we have to really have a go because we are entitled to have it.

"The biggest regret I have from Sunday [against Manchester United] is that we gave them too much freedom and allowed them too much to play in a game where we should have been dictating.

"My players wanted it so much that sometimes you can be a little bit restricted and our target is to get that freedom to play in this game [against Chelsea]."
