Manager Arsene Wenger remains convinced attack will prove the best form of defence as Arsenal look to stay in the top four of the Premier League.

The Gunners recorded a seventh win in the last eight league matches when beating relegation-battlers QPR 2-1 at Loftus Road on Wednesday night with goals from Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez.

Arsenal sit a point ahead of Manchester United, their FA Cup quarterfinal opponents, and four behind second-placed Manchester City.

Giroud's second-half opener came following a swift counter-attack after Arsenal had soaked up plenty of pressure.

Wenger, though, expects to see his team always stay on the front foot.
