Wenger calls for focus ahead of Arsenal run-in

The Gunners recently embarked on a run of seven consecutive wins to propel them back into the top four and put them in the driving seat for Champions League qualification

Arsene Wenger has urged his Arsenal squad to maintain their focus for the final eight Premier League games of the season.

The north London outfit currently sit third after putting together a superb run of seven back-to-back victories, including a 5-2 derby win over Tottenham.

"This is the period where what we do matters the most, so we just want to keep our focus on this and not worry about anybody else's results," Wenger said.

"We have shown footballing and mental qualities in recent weeks and now we need to continue our development."

Wenger's side travel to across London on Saturday to face QPR, who are currently languishing in the relegation zone.

Since overtaking Tottenham for third position, the Gunners need only to better their rivals' results to claim the final automatic Champions League qualifying spot.

"We are now at the stage of the season where every day in the Premier League seems to have turning points," Wenger added.

"What is most important now is our consistency and momentum."
