Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has claimed he is not too worried about his side's loss to Arsenal.

Arsenal climbed to second place in the league after a comprehensive 4-1 at the Molineux on Saturday.

But McCarthy feels the defeat will not have any bearing on his side's fight for survival in the Premier League.

According to skysports.com, he knows Wolves are battling for their top flight lives this term and he admits that there are biggest tests to come for his side.

He said: "Our season won't be judged by games against Arsenal. We have Birmingham coming up and this is the type of game we have to win.

"Hull, West Ham and Portsmouth are the teams in and around us and matches with them will be important.

"We have been ticking along okay but were well beaten in the end. We were outstanding for 30 minutes and took Arsenal on but mistakes have cost us.

"But I know the crowd appreciate the hard work the team put in and the way they tried to play."
