Wenger relaxed with Arsenal's misfiring strike force

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is not too concerned with his misfiring strikers and has backed them to come good. The Gunners have failed to find the target in each of their last three Premier League fixtures.

Wenger, though, maintains complete faith in his attacking unit and expects the current drought to come to an end sooner rather than later.

"We do not put any special pressure on a guy who misses a goal chance. The bigger you make a problem, the bigger it becomes. We remind them they have the quality," said the Frenchman.

"I remember teams who concede goals in the final five minutes and the more you say to them 'we don't want to concede goals in the last five minutes', the more it becomes a problem and the more you concede goals.

"So you just have to be natural, spontaneous and believe in what you do and your ability."

Wenger added: "Sometimes you have to take a distance from a problem and just think 'lets play well'.

"We have scored plenty of goals and it happens to any team to have a spell where you score a little bit less."
