Arsenal, who are currently fourth and two points behind Chelsea, travel to St James' Park on Sunday, while the Blues host Everton at Stamford Bridge.The Gunners were seven points behind their north London rivals after a 2-1 defeat at White Hart Lane in March. But Wenger's team have gained the advantage over Spurs after failing to lose any of their last nine top-flight matches.That's the best sign to show we have not made an approach for him. The first thing to do is to call Manchester United, which we have not done.Any draw for Chelsea, along with the Gunners scoring two more goals in a one-goal winning margin, would leave the pair level on points, goal difference and goals scored after 38 games.We are in a position where nobody expected us to be. We have our destiny in our hands.The biggest task is to win the game and not speculate too much on what happens after," said Wenger. "The first compulsory part is winning our game.Wenger also denied speculation the Gunners were preparing a transfer bid for Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, who wants to leave the Premier League champions.Arsenal know they are guaranteed a top-four place - clinching Champions League qualification for the 16th consecutive season in the process - if they beat 13th-placed Newcastle at St James' Park.
