Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky insists they can build on victory over Sunderland.

Despite the team's poor start, and the fact that they lost Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri this summer, Rosicky is convinced that the club can finish in the top four.

"It was a very difficult start for us but the season is very long and I don't feel it is impossible for us [to finish in the top four]," he said.

"Every game is very difficult and you have to fight hard. The season is long and there are so many points to play for. Arsenal is a great club that always has to play for the top four. Even if we started badly, it must still be our aim."
