Cesc assures Arsenal fans: Title rivals still have to come to us

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas insists their title hopes did not end with defeat at Manchester United.

Fabregas is well aware that Arsenal have already made three of their toughest trips of the season, facing both Manchester clubs and Chelsea on their own patch.

That means all three have to visit North London in the New Year and Arsenal's captain believes they can capitalise on home advantage.

"The positive to take from the game is quite simple - we have already played all the games against the rest of the top four sides away from home," Fabregas told the Official Arsenal Matchday Programme.

"They all have to come to the Emirates and we know we can beat anyone at home. That gives us morale and confidence.

"We have Stoke on Saturday, then a good rest before we face Chelsea [on December 27]. But the most important game now is Stoke City, because these are the games that help you win titles too."
