Podolski: We’re ready for battle

German forward Lukas Podolski maintains Arsenal are ready to put on a united front and secure their place in the FA Cup final with victory over holders Wigan at Wembley on Saturday.

The Gunners are in danger of allowing a campaign which had promised so much drift away once again, as exit from the Champions League at Bayern Munich was followed by a poor run of Barclays Premier League form which has seen any realistic title chances evaporate.
