Arsene Wenger was typically honest when asked about our Europa League campaign in his pre-match press briefing ahead of the CSKA Moscow game.
The Arsenal manager acknowledged the "extra pressure" we are under considering our slim hopes of making the top four and this is what he told the media:

Yes, there is some extra pressure on us to do extremely well in this competition. That’s part of being where we are. I must say we have to see it in a way that it’s an opportunity we want to take and keep the priorities right - that means focusing on how well we play together, on the quality of our game, on how we want to play football.
