What they said:

Mauricio Pochettino: “Our mentality is always to believe. That is all I can say. We are in the most competitive league in the world.

“We missed a good chance at West Ham and maybe we didn’t play as we have in the last few games. Saturday is very important for us to keep our position in the table.”

Arsene Wenger: "I am worrying about our results. We don't dream. We have to be realistic and come back to what we do well; the basics.

"The players are very down but we have to respond. We have to focus on our job and remind ourselves that we have some quality as well."
