The Gunners host Fulham tomorrow looking to extend a 14-match unbeaten run following the midweek Champions League win over Roma.

However, Arsenal have not scored a goal in the Barclays Premier League for three successive matches, while the last time they hit the net at home was back on January 10 against Bolton.

That inability to convert chances has proved costly in terms of dropped points, as the fifth-placed Gunners missed opportunities to close the gap on the sides above, which now stands at six.

However, Wenger - whose side have kept seven clean sheets from the last nine - insists there is no reason to hit the panic button.

"We do not put any special pressure on a guy who misses a goal chance. The bigger you make a problem, the bigger it becomes. We remind them they have the quality," said Wenger,

"I remember teams who concede goals in the final five minutes and the more you say to them 'we don't want to concede goals in the last five minutes', the more it becomes a problem and the more you concede goals.

"So you just have to be natural, spontaneous and believe in what you do and your ability."

Wenger added: "Sometimes you have to take a distance from a problem and just think 'lets play well'.

"We have scored plenty of goals and it happens to any team to have a spell where you score a little bit less."

Danish striker Nicklas Bendtner - in the starting XI following injury to Emmanuel Adebayor and Eduardo - was guilty of missing a golden chance against Roma, when he smashed the ball over from inside the six-yard box with the goal at his mercy.

Wenger, though, insisted he would be more worried were his frontmen not getting themselves in the positions to score.

"He is 21 years old, playing at the top level and creating chances. The problem at that level is if you don't create chances," said the Arsenal boss.

"He wants to work and he is becoming very professional.

"Before he was a little bit easy going. He realises now what it takes to me a top-class player. He works very well and for me he has a bright future."

Wenger accepts most teams will come to Emirates Stadium in determined mood not to be beaten, and insists it should make his men more focused on "punishing" such an approach.

"It is not down to the opponent to give us an opening and we do not have any influence on any opponent's behaviour," said the Arsenal manager.

"It is down to us to find an opening and be creative enough to punish the teams who refuse to play and to win the games."

Arsenal will welcome back Russian playmaker Andrei Arshavin for tomorrow's game, after the deadline day signing from Zenit St Petersburg was ineligible for the midweek European tie.

Wenger maintains his side have what it takes to force themselves back into the top four over the remainder of the campaign.

"In football, nothing is unthinkable, but I am confident we will make the Champions League," he said.

"There are 12 games to go. If we keep our consistency, spirit and attitude, and our focus, we will make it.

"It is down to us to be consistent.

"We have 36 points to take, so lets not speculate too much on the weakness of any other team. If we win our games, we will be there."

Wenger added: "I never consider failure. With the potential of our players and everything at the club, I have more reasons to be an optimist than a pessimist."
