Wenger confident Gunners can recover after United defeat

ARSENAL manager Arsene Wenger is convinced his young side can produce a positive reaction to defeat at Old Trafford when they travel to Portsmouth for another crunch Barclays Premiership fixture tonight.

The Gunners head to Fratton Park knowing there can be no room for error if they are to force their way into the top four.

Victory over Harry Redknapp’s relegation battlers would close the gap on Tottenham to just two points, with the final north London derby at Highbury on April 22 taking on extra significance.
