Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger

Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger is delighted his young squad have shown the strength of character to haul themselves back into the hunt for the Premiership title following a fifth straight league win.

"With eight games - four at home, four away - left, we are still in the race, So let's have a go," the Arsenal manager declared.

"The rest of the season will be tight, interesting and exciting."

Arsenals' hard-fought win at the KC Stadium, where Hull produced a resilient effort following the dismissal of captain George Boateng at the end of the first half, was completed without the services of injured skipper Cesc Fabregas.

Wenger revealed the influential Spain midfielder could be back in contention for the visit of struggling West Ham as he nurses a hamstring problem.

Czech winger Tomas Rosicky also failed to make the trip to Hull because of a groin problem, but should be fit by the weekend.

However, centre-back William Gallas remains sidelined with a niggling calf injury, so Campbell is in line for another run-out against the Hammers.
