Wenger targets 'immortality'
Arsene Wenger declared that Arsenal can achieve sporting 'immortality' next weekend if they take the final step in going through an entire Premiership season unbeaten.
Wenger's title-winning side extended their undefeated league campaign to 37 games with a scrappy 1-0 win at Fulham as Jose Reyes took advantage of an early blunder by Edwin van der Sar.
Now just Leicester bar their path to the record books, with Preston North End having been the only other top-flight English side to have been gone unbeaten, albeit in a 22-game season in 1888-89.
Dutch side Ajax and Italian giants AC Milan have also achieved the feat in the modern era, but Wenger underlined the scale of the achievement which is now potentially ahead of his side.
