Bendtner to battle for place

Nicklas Bendtner has no intentions of leaving Arsenal yet - as long as he gets enough games. An injury to Eduardo has seen Bendtner's opportunities more forthcoming, but Adebayor and van Persie are more than likely to pair up for the final section of the season.

"I need to obviously get more games," he told Arsenal TV.

"The more you play with the team as a regular starter, then the more you get to learn and know the team.

"If I can get a good run in the side, then I am sure you will see that I can do it."
