Wenger confident Arsenal will bounce back after Hull shock

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is confident they can bounce back this week against Champions League rivals Porto after yesterday's shock defeat to Hull City.

He said: "I'm confident that we'll respond well on Tuesday night because the disappointment is so deep. The attitude is good and the overall spirit in the team is very very good. Today we were caught a little bit for being too easy and I don't think that will happen on Tuesday.

"They are always a difficult side to play. They've just beaten Fenerbahce. They played last night and have given enough. We know in the Champions League we don't have the same risk as we have tonight. We have to rebuild the confidence before Tuesday to get the right belief into the game.

"We are always under extra pressure but Tuesday night will be a vital game for us. I'm more concerned by the Premier League than the Champions League and its very concerning when we lose a game like we lost today."
