CELESTIAL BEINGS

"We can gain immortality. We have a chance of making real history, although I’m not sure the players fully understand what is at stake."

Wenger added: "Somehow I think this feat will never be repeated again. For me, that would be a massive achievement. Historically, there is no trophy for not losing a game all season but no matter where you are in the world Arsenal will get a lot of respect for this feat if we can do it against Leicester."

Fulham boss Chris Coleman reminded Wenger of what was needed to become immortal: "If they are going to go around calling themselves immortals then Arsenal have to win back-to-back titles and European Cups — like Liverpool and Manchester United did. Arsenal are a great team and I think they will go unbeaten. Whether this will happen again I don’t know but I do think Arsenal have to achieve a bit more before they call themselves immortal."
