Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has insisted that Arsene Wenger remains omnipotent at the Emirates, despite mounting speculation from supporters and the media that his power is on the wane.

Wenger is under increasing pressure to deliver a trophy for the Gunners but an inconsistent start to the season has seen Arsenal struggle to compete with their traditional title rivals.

Szczesny told the Polish version of Playboy magazine: "In the club he is God. Nobody can rebel against him. The God is only one.

"It's not that easy to cross your boss in England. Those who try it usually don't get first-team opportunities.

"Even not shaking hands after the game has its consequences. You can get away with murder in Poland but not so much in England."

Arsenal continue their quest to climb the table this afternoon when they entertain reigning champions Manchester City.
