Wojciech Szczesny insists Arsenal are not about to throw in the towel as they battle to overhaul Manchester United's imposing lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League - and declared the team owe their disappointed fans a response with victory at arch-rivals Tottenham on Wednesday night.

Wojciech Szczesny could yet return in goal for Arsenal against Liverpool on Sunday.

Over the last couple of weeks, the world of sport has seen not one, but two stars come out of retirement.

Arsenal defender Johan Djourou may yet be able to play again this season, according to the Swiss Football Association.

Arsenal are to offer former goalkeeper Jens Lehmann a short-term deal to return to the club according to reports.

Arsenal have confirmed young goalkeeper James Shea has signed a new contract.

Arsenal goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski will miss the rest of the season as he requires surgery on a damaged shoulder.

Arsene Wenger today confirmed Wojciech Szczesny is Arsenal's "number one" but challenged fit-again Manuel Almunia to reclaim the role - starting against Huddersfield in the FA Cup on Sunday.

Arsene Wenger has confirmed there is a "small chance" Manuel Almunia could leave Arsenal during the January transfer window.

Arsene Wenger maintains it will be Manuel Almunia's decision whether the veteran goalkeeper decides to stay and fight for his place as Arsenal number one.

The Arsenal full-back Kieran Gibbs has been ruled out for "a few weeks" with the knee injury he sustained against Newcastle United on Wednesday. The loss of Gibbs was tempered, however, by news that Robin van Persie and Aaron Ramsey are set to resume training by the end of next week.

Arsene Wenger has revealed that Cesc Fabregas is unlikely to be fit in time for Arsenal's match with Chelsea on Sunday.

Whenever there is a surprise result in the Premier League the focus is on what went wrong for the big club, never on the one causing the upset. So it was when West Bromwich Albion won at the Emirates on Saturday: Manuel Almunia's crisis of confidence and the damage done to Arsenal's title chances dominated coverage.
