Wenger: 'We will be on our toes and focused at The Emirates'

"Both teams played well at a high tempo and in an offensive way. Villarreal started stronger than us and the early goal made it very difficult. In the second half, it was a great response and we took over.

"It puts us in a great position, but we want to qualify at home and to repeat the type of performance we did in the second half. I am confident, the quality we have shown added to the mental strength and desire we have shown.

"But we know Villarreal are a good team as well, so we will be on our toes and focused at Emirates. We have a little chance to recover some players who are out as well.

"But before that we have a big game at Wigan and we need not to lose other players."

"This team has shown the whole season they are mentally very strong and when they have backs to the wall, these young players always find an answer. I believe we have created momentum. We are a very young team, but are capable to focus.

"We have shown with the consistency we have in the championship that we are able to concentrate every three days and at that age, that is a big quality."
