Gunners grit their path to salvation

KEVIN KILBANE knows a thing or two about winning crucial battles at the sharp end of the season.

The Ireland midfielder is a battle-hardened veteran of two successful survival campaigns with Wigan, so when he offers his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of making a late challenge for the Premier League title, they should be noted.

Kilbane, having witnessed first hand Arsenal’s ability to churn out another crucial victory on his Hull debut here, believes Arsene Wenger’s team could still have a significant say in the outcome of the championship race.
