[LNB]'I am hoping Crouchy can cause Arsenal problems,' said Redknapp, who will start with David Bentley. [LNB]'He can be unplayable if you hit him with the right ball. He is a good footballer and can pass and play but the thing that makes him different is that he wins every header if you get good balls into him. [LNB]'Anyone can struggle against Crouch, nobody can handle him if the service is good. [LNB]"Against Birmingham he was up against Roger Johnson, who is a good header of the ball, but Crouchy came on, won five headers, hit the bar and scored a goal. He couldn't handle him. He's so tall so if we get good quality balls he will be a threat to Arsenal.'[LNB]Redknapp refused to write off Arsenal's title aspirations but added that he felt Chelsea and Manchester United had the upper hand because of their experience. [LNB]'Arsenal are potential winners but personally I don't think they will win it,' he said. 'They are still a young team, a fantastic young team, but I just feel Chelsea and Manchester United have players who have been there and done it all.'[LNB]
