Robin van Persie has backed Arsenal to recover from their miserable start to the season and begin climbing the Premier League table.
Arsene Wenger's side endured a summer of turmoil with the departures of key midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri to Barcelona and Manchester City, respectively.
And they have struggled for form on the field, with just seven points garnered from their opening seven fixtures in the Premier League to sit 15th in the table.
An 8-2 drubbing at Manchester United was followed by an embarrassing 4-3 reverse at Blackburn and in their last outing the Gunners suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of local rivals Tottenham.
