Fabregas: Time to step up

Injured Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has challenged his team-mates to seize the opportunity to keep their Barclays Premier League title challenge alive with victory at relegation-battling Hull tonight.

The Gunners head to the KC Stadium without their influential midfielder, who has been hampered by a hamstring problem and did not feature in the 5-0 midweek Champions League victory over Porto.
