Wenger - Injuries explain our November record
Arsène Wenger is hoping that November will be kind to his Arsenal side this season.
At the start of the month, the Frenchman argued that this was one of the most important and yet frustrating times of the campaign.
Our table below shows how Arsenal have fared in November during Wenger's tenure in North London. It has been mixed to say the least. Thankfully this month has begun with a pair of 4-1 wins - over AZ Alkmaar and Wolves. Following the latter game, and despite their good form of late, the 60-year-old spelled out the need to stay focussed.
"Traditionally November has not been a good month for us," said Wenger. "But I explain that by the fact we had more injuries, it is the first period when they kick in.
"It depends on the fixtures too - you can have two or three difficult games in November. You have decisive games in the Champions League and the players go on international duty.
"Now we have that break and all the players fly away so let's hope they all fly back in good shape. After that we go to Sunderland and that is always a difficult place to go."
