Arsene Wenger: 'Morale has not dropped'

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is adamant that his side's recent slump in form has not affected morale at the club ahead of their Premier League clash with Chelsea.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has insisted that his side's morale hasn't dipped despite back-to-back losses.

The Gunners were hammered 6-3 by Manchester City last week just days after their Champions League loss to Napoli, but Wenger feels these setbacks will be negated if his side beat Chelsea on Monday.

Wenger told Sky Sports News: "They have been disappointing for us but I don't think they have affected the morale. We have made good results until now because we have a good solidarity level and a good togetherness in the squad, and I don't see any sign of that dropping.

"I think even more that the players are focused to respond on Monday night. It can happen in a season when sometimes you have a bit of a weaker period. How you respond to this kind of problem is what matters."

Arsenal are top of the Premier League and hold a two-point lead over second-placed Liverpool.
