Tomas Rosicky Prepares For Season-Defining Week Ahead As Arsenal Face Liverpool, Tottenham & Bolton
Czech captain believes Gunners are in high hopes going into a week of three big fixtures & insists the win at Blackpool gave the team's confidence a much-needed boost
By Omar Shahid
Tomas Rosicky is confident his Arsenal team are back challenging for the Premier League ahead of the Gunners' clash with Liverpool on Saturday.
Arsenal’s title winning hopes were hindered by three consecutive draws, but a 3-1 win against Blackpool last weekend has increased confidence in the team who are aiming to clinch the Premier League title.
The Gunners have three season-defining fixtures within a week, as they play Liverpool, Tottenham and Bolton, with the latter two games away from home. Rosicky, however, is sure his side are in good spirit going into these matches.
"We badly needed the three points from Blackpool and I think we are now on the right path again," he told the club's official website.
"We have a huge week in front of us and we have to be successful. We didn’t have a good spell even though we were unbeaten because we didn’t win for two or three games.
"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.
"We have a lot of injured players back so the whole squad will be back together again and it's very important to go into the final sprint with the whole squad."
