Arsenal players have not given up hope of Champions League qualification despite a 8-point deficit in top four race.
Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Rob Holding believe there is still a chance for the North Londoners even after a 6-game winless streak.
Sokratis said, “The team needs confidence and calm to show the quality we have. This will give confidence also. I think we can get [into the top four] because if we find one or two games where we can play very good and have a good result, after the team will take confidence and after that we have the quality.”
“We just need to string a couple of wins together and I think that will lift the confidence again and hopefully set us off on a run. We just need to stay calm and stay positive. We’re sixth, we’re not a million miles off it,” Holding said.
“We’re eight points off the top four but if we have three wins in a week we’re back up within touching distance so it’s not crisis point by any stretch of the imagination. We need to keep calm.”
Arsenal will have a chance to end their torrid run against Southampton at home on Saturday.
