Lambert confident ahead of Arsenal match

Stoke have not won at Arsenal since 1981, so their challenge is a big one with 37 years of history not on their side.  For his part, Lambert won with Aston Villa in the opening of the 2013/2014 season, and will be aiming to fill his side with the confidence to cause an upset. 

Speaking to the 'Daily Mail', he said: ''It's a really tough place to go. I've been fortunate I've won there - I know what it's like to win there, I know what it's like to lose there, I know what it's like to draw there. We'll make it a really hard game, we'll go and try and win, like I've always done, and it won't change. We have to find a way to hurt them.''

In the face of a relegation battle, Lambert said: ''As long as you keep fighting you've always got a chance, and that's what you do, you keep fighting for everything.''

Yet, the Stoke coach praised the efforts of his side, he added that regarding: ''the performance levels of the team, I couldn't ask for any more from them. I know what I want to achieve and we're still well in this fight.''
