Former Arsenal great Ray Parlour remains optimistic about his former team's chances for glory this season.

Arsenal resume their Champions League campaign tonight with an away game against Portugese outfit Braga, and Parlour believes a win and a clean sheet are very important for the players tonight.

The former Gunners midfielder wants to see the team respond in positive fashion, as he still believes they are in a good situation to win some silverware this year.

He said: "I'm very optimistic every season with Arsenal. You look at the league at the moment they've lost three games at home this season and they're still only two points behind.

"They're going to be disappointed still from the weekend, I'm sure they will, but the good thing about it is there's a game around the corner where you can say well let's have a really good performance tonight and let's forget about Tottenham.

"They need to put that to bed, win tonight, get a good performance under them and then hopefully they can go to Villa Park and do what they did at Everton and Wolves and scrape a victory.

"It's gone now. If we can get a good result tonight we've got Aston Villa at the weekend away from home - hopefully we get three points then.

"When you have had a poor result you can't wait to the next game to really put it to bed. If they can get a clean sheet tonight it will be a massive thing for Arsène Wenger, it really wIll."
