Wenger is likely to recall his senior players after selecting a youthful squad for the midweek 3-1 Carling Cup third-round win over Shrewsbury.It was a welcome victory for the beleaguered Frenchman, who has come under intense scrutiny following the worst start under his tenure which culminated in last weekend’s 4-3 loss at Blackburn.
Van Persie said: “It is important that we stay positive – that can be hard because everyone is frustrated and we realise that this is our worst start in the league for a while, but we have to stay together, be strong and make sure not to hide or become introverted.
“Games like Saturday’s happen, but we must not go into our shell.
“We should be proud of who we are and aware that we are only five games in with so much still to play for.”
