Gomes eyes PSV shock

PSV Eindhoven goalkeeper Gomes is confident that he can help the Dutch side complete a Champions League shock and knock Arsenal out of this season's competition.
PSV beat last term's beaten finalists 1-0 in the first leg and Gomes sees no reason why his side cannot complete the job at the Emirates Stadium and reach the quarter-finals.
"Arsenal are dangerous at home but now is the key moment for us to knock them out of Europe," the Brazilian told eurosport.com.
"The defeats in the cups for Arsenal (against Chelsea and Blackburn Rovers) have demonstrated that they have problems in the defence and that they are vulnerable.
"If PSV play with their heads in London, it is possible to win the match.
"PSV are the league leaders in Holland and Arsenal are not. This, and the defeat in the first leg, makes us the favourite.
"I overcame my fear of (Thierry) Henry in the first match and I go to London with the objective of keeping him out again.
"In my last matches against him, Henry had always scored. But now the situation has changed and I have the feeling that he will not be the decisive man in this tie. And when Henry does not function, Arsenal are less dangerous."
