Manager Arsène Wenger has called on his charges to give the appropriate response to the fans in their match against leaders Manchester United on Sunday.

The result in that match could yet decide the destiny of the Premiership title, especially as United also have to play Chelsea before the end of the season.

A win probably wouldn't put us back in the title race, but could yet cement our hold on a Champions League place.

Wenger said: "We are certainly wounded [and] we have to build up the animal until Sunday. We have been hit very hard.

"It is vital for us [to respond]. We had a blow on Sunday with a last-minute goal and it is vital for us to show that we have some mental qualities and finish with a very strong fighting spirit.

"Manchester United are now in a very strong position but we have to fight until the end of the last second of the season. It is very unlikely for us now - let's not hide the truth - but the pride of our group is to, first of all, finish in the Champions League places.

"It's important for our pride, for our mathematics in the table and for what we delivered this season. Because I feel until now, we delivered top quality games and once the season is over, and we look at the best games played this season, I'm sure that Arsenal has played a big part in it."
