Wenger said: "We are of course frustrated and angry but I am confident in their self belief to go and win this game.
"You are not at that level if you don’t care about losing, these guys are highly concerned and disappointed when they don’t win.
"I believe the most important thing is we turn up, we have shown we can beat Chelsea in the first game so let’s turn up with the same quality.
"What is at stake here is how we respond, in a united and determined way.
";Naturally we would be more on alert than we were against Watford. We are more likely to be on the edge of our concentration.
"That’s competition, when you accept that and want to be at the highest level you have to accept you have defining moments and games.
"If you don’t want that then it’s better you don’t compete – go and work in adminstration or something like that.
"Everybody knows we have to recover, the team is united and there is a desire to put things right and everyone is focused on tomorrow’s game."
