Wenger confident Arshavin will soon be back to his best

ARSENE WENGER maintains it will not be long before Arsenal fans again see the best of Andrey Arshavin.

The Russian midfielder was handed his first start in three matches for Saturday’s FA Cup third-round tie against npower Championship side Leeds, which ended 1-1 at the Emirates Stadium after captain Cesc Fabregas fired in a last-minute penalty.

The outcome, however, could have been so different had Arshavin converted a golden opportunity to put the Gunners ahead on 11 minutes after he was played clean through on goal by Tomas Rosicky.
