The North London outfit have lost their last two games on the road in all competitions, but Wenger has no concerns heading into Sunday’s match against Norwich City at Carrow Road.

The Chelsea manager said that though he usually prefers English clubs to progress in Champions League, he is making an exception for Arsenal.
“It’s a lot of pleasure for me that I get back into the team”. Sanchez broke out of a little bit of a goal scoring drought, and this could be a step toward getting him back in his usual form.
Wenger remains open-minded about Flamini’s future.
Before he headed in the opening goal Ozil had been instrumental and shown off an array of passing that has seen him rack up assist after assist this season.
Mathieu Flamini has full confidence in Arsene Wenger after Francis Coquelin was ruled out for up to three months with a knee ligament injury.
“It will be tough in Greece but Arsenal have the quality to come through. We need to make sure we go there and get the result no matter how and [get] in the draw for the last 16”. “This team has an enormous potential”.
“He (Sanchez) is just a very important player. I think there is a huge potential, now we have to demonstrate it on the pitch”.
Arsene Wenger is confident Arsenal can beat Olympiacos and qualify for the last-16 of the Champions League. They [Arsenal] are in a group where a kid friend of mine is the manager of Olympiacos and it would be fantastic for the kid’s career to go through. Both of us did it well, and that gives us a chance. The match is now essentially the second leg of a knockout tie and the Gunners must overturn their defeat at the Emirates, which means victory by two goals or by a margin of one if they score three goals. “It’s not going to be easy but I think we have the quality”.
“On top of that we missed a penalty and scored an own goal, so we had a nightmare”.

While the win assures Arsenal of a place in the Europa League at least, that is not interesting Wenger at present.
