Senderos still has belief in Arsenal's title challenge

Defender Philippe Senderos says that there is still a strong belief and confidence ebbing through the squad, and they are as hungry as ever to win the title.

Sunday's game at Wigan saw Arsenal drop two valuable points, drawing their third game in a row, and allowing Manchester United to seize top spot should they win their game in hand.

The Gunners were once five points clear, and could have been eight at one stage of the campaign.

Senderos, currently enjoying an extended run in the team, said: "There is no dent in our confidence. At the moment we are top and we will continue believing we can go on until the end.

"We try to concentrate on ourselves and our next performance. Hopefully we can get three points next week. We have the belief.

"The Wigan game is a little set-back because we have drawn a few games on the trot but we haven't lost. The confidence is sky high and we are going to continue like that. We will continue to play the way we have been, but in hopefully better conditions.

"Hopefully in front of our own crowd and in better conditions than at Wigan, we can do the job the way we want to. We want three points every game and Middlesbrough is a good opportunity to come back strong and show everybody that we are up there.

"We have to take the positives out of the (Wigan) game. There was good character and good fighting spirit.

"If someone doubts our fighting spirit you saw it - everybody was committed, there was a great attitude on the pitch so to come out of a difficult game with a result after a hard week is definitely positive."
