Fabregas wary of AZ threat
Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has warned against taking Champions League new boys AZ Alkmaar lightly.
The Gunners head to DSB Stadium for Tuesday night's European tie in good form, having recorded successive victories to top Group H.
However, it could have been so different had Arsene Wenger's youngsters not recovered from a shocking opening to their last away game in Liege, where they trailed 2-0 inside the opening four minutes.
Yet having come through such a test of character at the compact Maurice Dufrasne Stadium, Fabregas maintains Arsenal will not be caught cold again.
"We have six points from two games in the group and if you think about the position we were in after just four minutes of our opening game, it shows how quickly football changes," the Spain international said.
"You must stay focused every day to be the best, because everyone else out there wants to be the best too. People expect the so-called smaller teams to be easy, but especially away from home those games are tough. They are usually fresher than the English or the Spanish teams because maybe their own league is not as intense."
