‘Home crowd give us massive advantage’

Arsene Wenger says the home crowd now give his side a “massive advantage” in matches at Emirates Stadium this season.

The Gunners are four points clear at the top of the table but enter a crucial period during which they will play seven matches before the turn of the year.

Wenger believes the faith the Arsenal supporters show in his team will be crucial to their hopes of maintaining their fine form.

“There is certainly more support from the stands than this time last year,” the manager said.

“It will be a massive advantage because when we have a difficult patch during a game, our fans feel it and support in response.

“Last year it was moaning when we had a weak period. You feel that. Of course it gives the players more belief and more desire.”
