Olympiakos v Arsenal: Mikel Arteta challenges Gunners to win five in a row

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has challenged his side to win their next five games to boost their hopes of qualifying for Europe next season.

Arsenal play Olympiakos in the Europa League last 16 in the next two weeks, and Tottenham, West Ham and Liverpool in their next three league games.

Arteta's side are 10th in the Premier League - 12 points off the top four, and 10 behind fifth-placed West Ham.

"I am very positive - there is still a lot to play for," said Arteta.

He added: "What we need is to put four or five wins in a row, if we are able to do that then things are going to look very different in two or three weeks' time.
