Arsenal back on track


Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky is confident his side are ready for the most crucial phase of the Premier League season.
Arsenal face four extremely tough encounters in the Premier League - which represents their only chance of a trophy this season.
Gunners host Liverpool on Sunday, travel to White Hart Lane for the North London derby against Tottenham two days later, then to the Reebok Stadium to face Owen Coyle's high-flying Bolton on April 24 before welcoming leaders Manchester United on May 1.
Wenger's men trail United by seven points with a game in hand and must win all their matches while hoping United slip up elsewhere before the season ends. Rosicky believes Arsenal are ready to do their part after last weekend's 3-1 win over Blackpool brought them back to winning ways.
In comments quoted on the club's official website, Rosicky said: "We didn't have a good spell even though we were unbeaten because we didn't win for two or three games.
"We badly needed the three points from Blackpool and I think we are on the right path again. We have a huge week in front of us and we have to be successful.
"It's very important for us to be relaxed in these games. If you are relaxed you can express yourself the best so I hope that's what we will show on Sunday. Liverpool have played some good football recently and it will be a very interesting match."
The good news for Arsenal is that most key players seem likely to be fit for the crunch part of the season with centre-back Johan Djourou and goalkeeper Wojcieh Szczesny set to return to the first-team.
