Wenger targets Napoli win

Arsene Wenger says Arsenal will travel to Napoli with the intent to win the game despite just needing a draw to qualify.
The Gunners have yet to seal qualification for the knock-out stage of the Champions League despite beating Marseille 2-0 last night - their fourth victory in five group matches.

There is still a chance that Borussia Dortmund and Napoli could go through the group at the expense of Arsenal, meaning the Gunners are in for a nervy last round of fixtures.

Wenger cannot believe Arsenal still have work to do and says he will field his strongest side and go for the win in Naples, despite only needing to pick up a point or avoid a heavy defeat.


"It's unbelievable that we have 12 points and still have to finish the job, but that's reality," Wenger said. "It's a tricky situation. In over 150 Champions League games this is the first time I have seen this.

"It would be a mistake to think we just don't have to lose big. We have to play in a positive way and try to win the game, anything else will be a gamble.

"I will have to play a full-strength team against Napoli, I can't take any risks.

"We have three Premier League games before then so I have to use the squad well to make sure we don't drop points in the league and go to Napoli with a strong team."
