Striker Nicklas Bendtner has said that he's always ready to play when called on.
The Danish international also said that he was more than happy with the pressure of leading the Arsenal frontline, with injuries and suspensions to usual strikers Emmanuel Adebayor and Robin van Persie.
Bendtner said: "They aren't involved at the moment but whether they're fit or not doesn't change my mentality.
"If the manager picks me I will always do whatever I can. I love the pressure, you could say I prefer it and thrive on it.
"I love it when people are thinking that this is the guy who needs to score or create something today if we are to win. That's how I set myself up for every game.
"It's good if people have big expectations for you. If people are expecting things from me, then I'm happy to take it."

I think Bedtner should go to the second team because with the kind of football he plays doesn't match with arsenal.He waste lot of chance.
