Champions League crunch match will not distract Wenger

Arsene Wenger will be more focused on winning the Premier League than the Champions League this season, Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce has warned.

Arsenal face a win-or-bust encounter against Olympiakos next Wednesday, where the Gunners need to win by two clear goals to qualify for the knock-out stages of the Champions League.

That could be a potential distraction for the hosts when Sunderland travel to the Emirates tomorrow, particularly as a serious of injuries have restricted Wenger’s options to shuffle his pack.
