Crunch time for Arsenal: Finish third, then target Sterling

The Gunners can secure third place in the Premier League with victory over Sunderland on Wednesday before Arsene Wenger turns his attention to new arrivals, says Greg Stobart.

Arsene Wenger claims that Arsenal is not in "transfer mode" but that will change instantly if his side clinches third place in the Premier League with a victory over Sunderland on Wednesday.

The manager's to-do list is rather simple for the rest of the season.

First, finish third and seal a guaranteed place in the Champions League group stages next season.

Then, go on and retain the FA Cup against Aston Villa on May 30.
