Wenger: Arsenal will respond against Liverpool

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is confident his side will bounce back from its Capital One Cup exit when it entertains Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Emirates Stadium outfit lost its second home game in a row on Tuesday night when Chelsea secured a 2-0 victory thanks to strikes from Cesar Azpilicueta and Juan Mata.

But Wenger allayed fears of a slump and is confident the league leaders will be fully focused on victory against Brendan Rodgers' side, which is currently sitting in third place.

"We will respond against Liverpool, don't worry," he told the club's official website.

"The home form is a concern but not as big as the statistics show it, because I felt in big games against [Borussia] Dortmund and [Chelsea] we gave easy goals away.

"There are positives and negatives, the negatives are we give the goals away, the positives are that we don't give many chances away. So we have to keep doing that and focus on the next game."
