“Not a very efficient style if you consider their success in terms of titles but a style is in place. Simeone doesn't represent that style in any way.”

Wenger hasn’t won the Premier League since the 2003/04 campaign, and after a 3-1 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday, their chances of winning the title now look over.

Arsenal sit 12 points behind league leaders Chelsea.
