Nigerian striker, Victor Anichebe, says West Bromwich Albion’s players have put their defeat to Chelsea firmly behind them and are poised for the kill against Arsenal on Saturday.
The Baggies came off second best against unbeaten Barclays Premier League leaders, Chelsea, losing 2-0 despite having to play with only 10 men for over an hour at Stamford Bridge.
The plethora of quality on offer among Jose Mourinho’s outfit was only further highlighted in midweek by their 5-0 Champions League demolition of Schalke in Germany.
Anichebe has however seen the right response from his team-mates in training this week, stressing they are keen to get back on track when Arsenal visit The Hawthorns in Saturday’s early kick-off.
“I think we’ve reacted positively,” the striker told SkySports.
Looking back at the defeat to Chelsea, Anichebe regretted the eventual outcome but knows they lost to “an unbelievable team.”
“The Chelsea game was tough to take, they had a lot of opportunities in the game and we defended well.
“We had an early sending-off, the corner we conceded from was poor as well. But we’ve come into training this week, we’ve trained well and everyone’s trained hard.
“Chelsea are an unbelievable team, even when I was watching from the sidelines you could see how good they actually are.
“To lose to a team like that, you can’t really get down too much about it.
“We’re over that now. We’ve got important games coming and I think we’re ready for the hard period which is about to come.
“This Saturday we’re going to go out and try and get the victory. Like I said, everyone’s been training hard this week.
“We’re as ready as we can be this weekend,” he said.
Anichebe has scored once in seven league appearances for WBA this season.
