Arsene Wenger believes that his side have what it takes to overturn a four-goal deficit against AC Milan tomorrow night.

Arsene Wenger has urged his Arsenal players to have belief ahead of tomorrow's Champions League tie against AC Milan.

The Gunners must overturn a four-goal deficit at the Emirates Stadium if they are to qualify for the quarter-finals of the competition.

Despite the odds being stacked against his side, Wenger believes that his squad have what it takes to cause an upset.

"I know my players well, I know they have been hurt by the first result, and I know they have their pride. They will come out tomorrow and give a performance," Wenger told reporters. "We lost 4-0 at Milan, but they had five shots on target and we had 55% possession there and we didn't play well at all. If they can score four we can as well, why not?

"It is important that we believe we can do it.

"Your belief is stronger when your recent results have been good."

Earlier today, Wenger confirmed that Spanish midfielder Mikel Arteta will miss the tie with concussion.
