Carlos Tevez admits Manchester City's morale was shattered after last weekend's derby defeat but he expects a positive response from his team-mates. Roberto Mancini's side suffered injury-time heartbreak to Manchester United as a 1-0 defeat at Eastlands handed Tottenham the initiative in the race for the UEFA Champions League.
"The defeat to Manchester United was incredible and it would destroy the morale of any squad," said the Argentina international in the Daily Mirror.
"But we have recovered because the race for fourth place is still open.
"For us each match left this season is a final and our objective is to win at Arsenal.
"The fight for fourth place is a war and our first battle comes there.
"Fourth position is still possible but if we want to do that we are obliged to win all our remaining matches.
"Arsenal are missing many players through injury and for them the title has virtually gone for this season.
"But that doesn't mean they will be treating the match against us like a friendly. They will generate many problems for us and it won't be easy to win."
