Arsenal Won't Have Petr Cech for Close to a Month

He was injured when he ran back to his area after going up for a corner in Wednesday's 2-1 home defeat by Swansea.

Alexis Sanchez has said Arsenal's lack of "self-belief" could be their downfall as they attempt to win a first Premier League title in 11 seasons.

Wenger gave a vote of confidence to his back-up keeper while also indicating that Laurent Koscielny will also miss this one. "We were hungry and brimming with confidence that day" said Sanchez to DirectTV Sports. Cech had a little groin problem but declared himself 100% fit.

"I don't know [how long he is out for], we have to see". "It's a serious calf injury, "Wenger said, "he had a groin alert on the first goal".

Cech has been carrying a minor calf problem in recent weeks but the Gunners have been carefully managing it in training to ensure the Czech global has been able to play in matches.

Wenger confirmed after the match to the media that Cech has pulled his hamstring and will not play in Saturday's crunch match against North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. "We don't dream. We have to be realistic and come back to what we do well... the basics. We expect another tough game against Arsenal and we need full energy to win the game".

The protesters, many of whom identified as victims, marched with banners outside the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels on Sunday morning.

Campbell hasn't played for a while and he started to tire. I believe that belief comes with the last results that you have made. "That said, we lack a certain hunger".

"We have a mutual support for each other and I think this is the most important in a mini group of goalkeepers - sticking together, working together and pushing each other in training".

With the prospect of ending the weekend nine points adrift of leaders Leicester - who visit Watford on Saturday Night Football - Nicholas fears the Gunners' title hopes will be killed off by defeat at White Hart Lane. I think he did quite well tonight (Wednesday), but there was room on that flank to be very risky with pace.

West Ham Put Dent In Tottenham's Title Hopes
Both sides played 120 minutes at Wembley on Sunday, but the worry for City fans was that only one side looked as though they had. The Englishman nearly gave West Ham a second following a beautifully whipped in free kick from Dimitri Payet in the second half.
