Togo international Emmanuel Adebayor sees no reason why Arsenal can't end their recent poor form by beating Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium this weekend.

The midweek stalemate with Fenerbahce extended the Gunners' winless run to three matches in all competitions and defeat on Saturday would be Arsenal's fourth loss in the Premier League already this term.

However, Adebayor, who will miss the game with the ankle injury he suffered in the defeat at Stoke City, is in an upbeat mood going into the crunch game: saying: "I don't think I would like any of the United players in our team.

"We already have a great team and everyone is playing quite well so we are happy with our squad.

"If we play our football, we've got a chance to win the game."

Captain William Gallas agrees with Adebayor, saying: "I don't think our title challenge is over at all. We're only six points behind, which is not much at this early stage.

"We have to keep believing and react well for the next game.

"We know we can play nice football but where we have to work and improve is to be focused for 90 minutes, or 94 minutes, and not think the game is over before the referee blows the final whistle.

"It is down to the whole team to work, it's not about individuals."
