"Of course, our fans have been consistent and have a high level of expectation, as I have as well," Wenger said.

"But I don't feel it is absolutely clear.

"You cannot be a fan until last Tuesday and not be a fan anymore and not be behind the team this Saturday. It doesn't make sense.

"We are in a fight. We absolutely have to be united or we have no chance to do it. 

"You have Tottenham - everyone is in the fight and everyone is behind their team. 

"We have to do exactly the same, even if we had two disappointing results."
