Wenger Ready For War With Martinez.

Arsene Wenger has admitted that the race for Champions League qualification has been blown wide open following his side's 3-0 loss to Everton at the Goodison Park on Sunday. Just a point now separates both teams as Arsenal still maintain 4th position, however, the Toffees have a game in hand. Arsenal have managed to qualify for the Champions League consecutively for the past 16 seasons but Everton are in a good position to break that streak. "The fight is very open and is depending not only on us," Wenger said. "Everton are in a strong position but we have been confronted with that before and it is how we respond. "I am absolutely 100 percent determined to fight for the top four, it will be difficult," the Frenchman, the longest-serving manager now in the Premier League, added. "We have a programme of fixtures that is feasible, but we must focus on the quality of performances before we talk about that," added Wenger, who will expect a much improved effort from Arsenal in their FA Cup semi-final with holders Wigan at Wembley on Saturday. "Our performance here was not convincing or defensively or offensively. It's disappointing a result and performance. The two go together and now we have to regroup and go back to basics," said the Gunners manager. With 6 games left to play, Everton manager Roberto Martinez has however refused to get carried away by his side's top four prospects. "It's not going to be straightforward to qualify for the Champions League but the mentality of the group is that we believe in ourselves and can do it."
