FA Cup quarter-final: Arsenal v Hull, 7.45pm
Arsene Wenger last night revealed his "burning desire" to end Arsenal's four-year wait for a trophy.
Wenger's side face Hull in tonight's delayed FA Cup quarter-final but insists they are still fighting on three fronts with the Champions League and a place in the top four up for grabs.
The Gunners boss has been under fire from Arsenal fans frustrated at not winning any silverware since the FA Cup in 2005.
Wenger will put out a near full strength team against Hull because he is desperate to win a trophy but also believes - with the help of returning Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor - they will hold on to fourth place after Aston Villa slipped up again on Sunday.
"With everybody coming back, we can cope with that," said Wenger.
"Of course there is a burning desire to win a trophy and if we focus on our performances then we can create something special.
"If we are consistent we will be ahead of Villa at the end of the season. We have the experience to cope with pressure and that helps.
"I watched Villa's game with Spurs. When you are in a position where you absolutely have to win it makes the game more difficult.

"When you are 1-0 down that becomes even more difficult. Spurs are a good team, they have shown they can beat anybody on their day.
"I expected us to win against Blackburn. But I didn't expect Villa to lose to Tottenham. That was the bonus of the weekend. It puts us in a strong position and rewards our consistency. We know the key is down to our performances."
Wenger has also been boosted by the return to fitness of Theo Walcott, who celebrated his 20th birthday yesterday. Walcott, who is negotiating a new contract, started his first game back against Blackburn on Saturday after nearly four months out after shoulder surgery, and Wenger praised him, adding: "There is still a lot more to come from Theo.
"He gives us something that is important. He goes behind the defenders and creates room and he has a direct game and we need that, especially at home."
Wenger is still haunted by Arsenal's defeat to Hull at the Emirates in September which cost them the chance to go top of the league and he admitted: "It was one of the lowlights of the season, but it is not the only one."
Probable teams:
Arsenal: Fabianski, Sagna, Gallas, Djourou, Gibbs, Eboue, Song, Diaby, Arshavin, Vela, Van Persie
Hull City: Myhill, Ricketts, Turner, Gardner, Dawson, Mendy, Ashbee, Zayatte, Geovanni, Fagan, Manucho
