Arsenal will need to be at their best even if Manchester United field a weakened team on their Premier League visit on Sunday, manager Arsene Wenger has said. Both sides need a win to stay in the hunt for Champions League qualification, with Arsenal at risk of missing the top-four for the first time in two decades. United manager Jose Mourinho has hinted he will prioritise the Europa League as he seeks a Champions League berth by winning Europe's second-tier competition, but Wenger does not believe that will give Arsenal the upper hand on Sunday. "The only advantage we can give is to focus on ourselves, not a weaker Manchester United," the Wenger told a news conference on Thursday. Pressure is mounting on the club to replace Wenger, whose current deal expires at the end of the campaign.
