Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has delivered a strong response to Thierry Henry’s criticism of the team’s recent performances.

Alexis Sanchez believes Arsenal “lack self-belief” to become Barclays Premier League champions this season. “It’s down to us to give them even more belief and make them more vocal by the quality of our game”.
In contrast, Arsenal face only three teams now in the top half of the table in their final ten matches of the season.
The Swans were without their new manager Francesco Guidolin, who was admitted to a London hospital with a lung infection that has troubled him over the past week, but they took a turn for the better when Wayne Routledge side-footed home thirteen minutes before the interval to equalise.
After both lost Wednesday, a draw between the neighbors could allow Leicester to move further in front in its improbable title challenge when it goes to Watford on Saturday.
Tottenham are eager to bounce back themselves after they slipped to their fourth league defeat of the campaign at West Ham on Wednesday. Now there is so many things to do – Europe, Champions League.
Arsenal blew a 1-0 lead in losing to Swansea. “I think everybody at the club, including the staff and the players, has big confidence in him because we can see in training and in his global games that he is a great goalkeeper”, Cech was quoted as saying by the club’s official website on Friday. It’s a big disappointment and we have to swallow that and bounce back. “We know and they know that it is a very exciting game and an important game because it means more than three points”. We need to step out onto the pitch as if we’re already 1-0 up.
Ozil has created one of the highest number of goal scoring opportunities in the Premier League this season (115) but Arsenal have scored the fewest goal in the top four.
Both sides fielded weakened sides that night, though, and Spurs come into this one as favourites.
“I think all the fans want the sport to be very clear and there is respect for everybody”. At the end we say if somebody is over us, well done.
“We just have to be focused on Saturday’s game because we have no option but to win it. We know 100 per cent Arsenal or Tottenham are going to drop points”.

Spurs will be boosted by the return of Dele Alli, who only made a cameo appearance against West Ham last time around.
