Wenger confident ahead of Olympiacos clash


Arsene Wenger is confident Arsenal have what it takes
to see off Olympiacos in Wednesday's Champions
League encounter.

Arsene Wenger is optimistic about his side's chances of
reaching the knockout stages of the Champions League at the
expense of Olympiacos.

The Emirates Stadium side sit third in Group F ahead of
Wednesday's trip to Greece and need to win by a two-goal
margin in order to reach the next round after their 3-2 home loss
back in September.

Wenger's men have made it out of the first round of the
competition for the last 15 seasons and he is desperate to make
it 16 in a row.

"Personally the record means a lot because it's important for
the club and for the players. I want to win and I want to qualify.

For me our job is to win the next game and do what is
requested," Wenger told the official Arsenal website.

"There is one positive thing for us - we know exactly what we
have to do. We know that we have to go for it from the start. So
let's do that and hopefully we can get through. We know what is
expected and we have studied Olympiacos.

Arsenal recorded a hard-fought win over Sunderland at the
weekend without  the injured Santi Cazorla and Francis
Coquelin, but Wenger expects a different game against
Olympiacos.

"We changed the team completely against Sunderland because
we’ve lost the core in midfield of Santi and Francis in the past
two weeks and we had to find a new balance," he added.

"We were a bit insecure as well because we had not won last
week.

"But I believe Olympiacos will be a different game
psychologically, it's clear, we just have to go for it."
