FOOTBALL NEWS - Arsene Wenger on Wednesday said he was "amazed" at fresh speculation over his future as he prepares his team to face Manchester City just days after Arsenal's League Cup final humiliation against Pep Guardiola's men.
The Frenchman has come under sustained fire since an abject display in Sunday's 3-0 hammering at Wembley but must now lift his team to take on the Premier League leaders on Thursday.
Arsenal's season is threatening to unravel -- they are 10 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League table and look set to miss out on Champions League football for a second consecutive year.
They are out of the FA Cup and will face Italian giants AC Milan in the last 16 of the Europa League, which is their only remaining chance of winning a trophy this season.
Arsenal's limp display led to stinging criticism from former Manchester United and England defender Gary Neville as well as former Gunners Ian Wright and Thierry Henry.
But Wenger, speaking at his pre-match press conference, responded with apparent shock when asked if the result meant his long tenure was now under increased threat.
