WENGER CONFIDENT OF POSITIVE RESULT

Arsene Wenger firmly believes there are plenty of reasons to be positive Arsenal are a club going places.

The Gunners head into the crunch Champions League clash with PSV Eindhoven at the Emirates Stadium looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg in Holland.

With the Barclays Premiership title now already out of reach, the European Cup represents their last realistic chance of lifting silverware this season.

Wenger has already seen Arsenal's Carling Cup dreams dashed in Cardiff - a defeat which was quickly followed by an unceremonious exit from the FA Cup at Blackburn.

The Gunners boss, however, remains ever confident in what the future holds.

"This team is going up," Wenger declared.

"If you look at the points we have taken since the first of December, it compares with any team in the league.

"The club is in a good situation, financially and in the quality of the players.

"We had a fantastic Carling Cup campaign with a very young side, so it is all very promising."

Although Wenger is not expecting Ronald Koeman's men to come out all guns blazing, he remains confident Arsenal can break down the Dutch side to secure the required result.

He said: "I respect every tactic. I feel it up to us down to us to find the solutions to the problems we face.

"We have to focus on the qualities of us - if we play well, we can beat PSV at home, we can beat anybody.

"It is just down for us to focus on our game."
