Arsenal: 4 Ways Wenger Can Guarantee A Top Four Finish

3. Make The Emirates Stadium A Fortress

It€™s no secret that your home form is crucial: whether you are attempting to avoid relegation or win the title, you have to win your home games, and Arsenal are no exception. So far this season Wenger€™s men have lost three times at the Emirates, the same number they lost at home in the whole of the previous year€™s campaign, and that isn't good enough. In addition the Gunners conceded only 17 times at home last season, while this year they have already leaked 18 goals, and Wenger is unfortunately looking at a step back from last year. If they are to achieve their aim of the top four Arsenal must tighten up at the back and starting winning more matches at home. One positive for the North London side is that only Manchester United have scored more times at home than them, something the Gunners must look to build on into the business end of the season. The only way to ensure more victories at home is to sure up the defence - which hopefully the addition of Monreal will offer Wenger - as well as continuing to score goals. With Giroud in good form and full of confidence, the second part might prove a lot easier.
