Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has rejected Alexis Sanchez's claims that the team lack belief that they can win the Premier League title.
The Gunners' race for the league crown took a hit on Wednesday night when they lost 2-1 to Swansea City at the Emirates.
After the game, Sanchez claimed that he and his teammates lacked a "certain hunger", but Wenger does not agree.
"No, I don't see that," Wenger told reporters. "I felt a lot of disappointment [in the dressing room] after Wednesday I must say, but to come back on that we watched the game again.
"We were a bit unlucky as the second goal was offside and the first was a blatant foul on [Mesut] Ozil. Even if we look at ourselves to correct results, everything went against us.
"We want to win [against Spurs] but mathematically, you can call it as you want. It's a need, yes, but results are so unpredictable that even the most gifted mathematician will have trouble to find the model for how this league works."
Arsenal are three points behind second-placed Tottenham Hotspur ahead of Saturday's clash at White Hart Lane.
