Aug 5 (Reuters) - Arsenal's failure to qualify for the Champions League will allow them to focus their attention this season on winning the Premier League for the first time since 2004, manager Arsene Wenger has said. The Frenchman noted in May that the two most recent league champions - Chelsea and Leicester City - did not play European football during their title-winning campaigns. "For us it is a good opportunity to focus completely on the Premier League," Wenger told British media. "I would say that the Premier League has, in my opinion, taken over from the Champions League interest-wise." "Last year, Chelsea did not play in the European Cup and, certainly, they were a bit more consistent in the Premier League," Wenger added.
