Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has been speaking about his recent good form ahead of Wednesday's Champions League tie with Swiss side Basel at the Emirates.

"I found it difficult towards the end of last season, I didn't get many opportunities." said Walcott, who scored in Saturday's 3-0 win over Chelsea.

"I spoke to many people and woke up something in my system - I am completely different.

"I just want to do better and better, after all the faith people have had in me. Maybe in the past I was thinking about others rather than myself, and I think it's about getting the balance right.

"There are always ups and downs, but it's all about now, and now it is going well.
