PETR CECH claims Arsenal will not be bullied against Manchester City this weekend.
The Gunners suffered their first league defeat in 14 in a bruising 2-1 loss at Everton last night.
But Cech is backing them to bounce back at the Etihad in what he is already calling a six-pointer in the title race.
Asked whether the Gunners can be bullied, Cech said: “No. We played well with the ball and we didn’t give Everton chances.
“Although they were not dangerous for most of the game, they found two goals and in the end you go home with a defeat.
“But you have to pick yourself up. There is a big period coming up now with the games coming thick and fast and there is no time to dwell on the defeat.
“You have to move on and get ready for the next one. Sometimes I think it is best if after a big game you play another big game.
“You have opportunities to win, it’s a kind of a six-pointer – it’s probably a perfect game for us.”
Three of Arsenal’s next six Premier League games are away from home.
But Gunners boss Arsene Wenger said: “We have to recover. We have a fantastic away record. We want to keep that strength and prepare well.”
