X RATES ARSENAL

- BY JOHN CROSS

GRANIT XHAKA insists Arsenal’s unbreakabl­e spirit has convinced the team they will finish in the top four this season.

Xhaka was outstandin­g as the Gunners fought back for a 1-1 draw against Liverpool to preserve their 14-game unbeaten run and pass a major test of their credential­s against Jurgen Klopp’s title hopefuls. Arsenal have won eight points from

losing positions this term, the most in the Premier League and Xhaka praised the impact Unai Emery has had on the squad. The midfielder said: “We knew we wouldn’t lose because we were so good and showed character again. You can see we’re ready for the top four. “A lot of small things have changed in the last weeks and month. We have great character. For example, 1-0 down against Liverpool, we come back and it’s not the first time. The coach prepares us very well. He helps all of us.”
