Arsenal fullback Gael Clichy is convinced they're on the brink of greatness.

Clichy is confident Arsenal can end their five-year wait for a trophy but knows that the trip to Sunderland tomorrow will be a major test of their title ambitions.

He said: "The only answer we can give to the people who doubt what we can do this season is on the pitch and we're doing well.

"We have some great players with a strong mentality and this year could be our year.

"The game against Braga was unbelievable for the fans, yet Sunderland away will be very different.

"It's going to be a battle. We want to show our fans that we can perform week-in, week-out."
