Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that his side will finish strongly in the Premier League title race following their defeat at Stoke City.
The Gunners went down 1-0 at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday, leaving them four points behind leaders Chelsea with 10 games left to play.
Despite that setback, Wenger is confident that his players will recover quickly and remain in the hunt for the title.
"Look at our results in the crucial points of the season and you will be surprised," the Frenchman told the club's official website. "Our end of season has always been very strong."
Arsenal return to Premier League action this Saturday when they welcome Swansea City to the Emirates Stadium.
