United look untouchable - Wenger
Arsene Wenger has all but admitted Arsenal will not challenge for the Premier League title after describing Manchester United as "untouchable".
United sit two points clear of Liverpool with a game in hand at the top of the table, with Arsenal a worrying 12 points off the pace in fifth.
Wenger, whose Gunners side went unbeaten in 2003/04, is refusing to give up on having a say in the title race but admits the Red Devils are currently some distance clear of the pack.
The two-goal return of Croatia striker Eduardo after a year out in Monday night's 4-0 FA Cup fourth-round replay win over Cardiff gave Arsenal fans reason for cheer, but Wenger has warned that long-time rivals United will take some stopping.
"We are on a very strong run at the moment and we have promised to give everything until the last day of the season but at the moment Manchester United look untouchable," confessed the Arsenal boss.
"They are 12 points ahead of us and they have a game against Fulham which they will certainly win. If they win that they are 15 points in front and that means they need to lose five games.
"Let us say they lose one against us, that still leaves four. They still need to lose four other games, which they haven't done yet this season.
"But our basic target is to get into the Champions League and therefore the championship remains a priority."
