Wojciech Szczesny confident Arsenal will qualify in Champions League

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has expressed his belief that the North London outfit will gain that all-important point to qualify for the Champions League knockout rounds.

The Premier League side threw away the chance to wrap up qualification the last time out after relinquishing a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 against Anderlecht earlier this month.

On Wednesday, Arsene Wenger's side will take on Borussia Dortmund at the Emirates, and Szczesny believes that the team can draw on last season's 1-0 away win over the German side.

"Last season we lost at home and won away, so we hope this season we can turn it around and get a result against them at home," Szczesny told the club's official website. "We have confidence for Wednesday's match knowing that we have recently beaten them. If we put in a good performance at home we know we can win.

"We know that we only need one point from our last two matches to qualify for the last 16, but we know that we have not made it yet. We're playing at home in front of our fans and we're confident that we can put in a good performance and qualify."

Dortmund currently lead Group D with 12 points, while Arsenal reside second with seven.
