Arsenal squad need to repay Arsene Wenger's trust... he sacrifices himself for the club, insists Gilberto Silva

Gilberto Silva has called on the current crop at Arsenal to start producing for under-fire manager Arsene Wenger.

The Gunners' legendary boss has come under increasing pressure in recent seasons with this campaign potentially his last in north London following another abject run of results.

Wenger has seen his side knocked out of the FA Cup at the third-round stage, comprehensively beaten in the Carabao Cup final and they are now 33 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City with just eight games remaining.

A top-four finish seems remote too with sixth-placed Arsenal 13 points behind bitter rivals Tottenham in fourth - meaning only victory in the Europa League will see them qualify for the Champions League next term.
