Rob Holding insists Arsenal are not at "crisis point" and is confident they can turn their fortunes around as they head into the festive period.

The Gunners have gone five games in all competitions without a win.

"We just need to string a couple of wins together and I think that will lift the confidence again and hopefully set us off on a run," the Arsenal defender told Sky Sports News.

"We just need to stay calm and stay positive. We're sixth, we're not a million miles off it.

"We're going into a busy Christmas period now where there's going to be three Premier League games a week.

"We're eight points off the top four but if we have three wins in a week we're back up within touching distance so it's not crisis point by any stretch of the imagination. We need to keep calm, keep positive and keep working on what we need to improve on."
