Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has claimed he is confident that the club's fortunes will improve as the season progresses.

The Gunners, who are currently in seventh place in the Premier League table, were dumped out of the Capital One Cup quarter-finals by League Two side Bradford City on Tuesday.

"I am confident that the best moments for Arsenal this season are still to come," Cazorla told The Mirror.

"We need to show maturity and confidence to get results. The lack of points are important because we want to fight for the title."

Arsenal return to league action on Monday when they face Reading at the Madejski Stadium.
