WEST BROMWICH, England - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has hit out at the Premier League's schedulers who he claims have handed Chelsea a pre-match advantage ahead of its London derby on Wednesday.

Wenger launched a tirade against the fixture list and the standard of Premier League refereeing after his side was held to a 1-1 draw at West Bromwich Albion, with even Gunners legend Thierry Henry coming under fire from the Frenchman.
