Manchester United narrowly top the Barclays Premier League on goal difference from Arsenal with Chelsea four points behind. Everton are the trio's nearest challengers but are 10 points adrift of the Stamford Bridge side.

And Wenger told Arsenal TV Online: "If they (Liverpool) win their game in hand they are 14 points behind and 10 behind Chelsea so it looks like three teams."

He added: "At the moment I feel it is too early to come to definite conclusions and the only thing you want is for your team to respond because it's a race where the consistency will be rewarded - and the strength of character.

"I know I have plenty in my team and that is why I don't want to calculate, I just want to look at how well we can respond in every game because I know that kind of consistency and stamina in performances will be determinant."

Emmanuel Adebayor has emerged as the successor to Thierry Henry with 16 league goals and his manager does not believe there is a better striker in the Premier League.

"For me, no," he said. "But I support him completely because I brought him here.

"When I brought him here not many people knew him and not many people believed in him.

"What's most pleasing is that he has a strong attitude, a winning attitude, and he wants to do things for the team and that is why I'm pleased he is improving all the time.

"He starts now to get the credit he deserves. Before I think a lot of people looked at him as a replacement for the players missing but now people realise he is more than that, that he is a strong player."
