Wenger confident Gunners can cope with ‘committed battle’ against Rovers

ARSENE WENGER feels his Arsenal side are ready to cope with whatever is thrown at them this season as he prepares for a “committed battle” at Blackburn tomorrow.

The Gunners came through a tough test in their midweek Champions League qualifier to record a 2-0 away victory against Sparta Prague.

It was a physical encounter at the AXA Stadium, which saw midfielder Cesc Fabregas involved in a clash with former West Ham defender Tomas Repka, who had talked up using rough-house tactics during the pre-match build-up.
