Kolo Toure claims Arsenal have the advantage ahead of Wednesday's Champions League showdown as Manchester United always struggle against them.

The Ivory Coast defender was part of the Gunners side which won 2-1 against United in the Premier League back in November and he believes the north London club are well placed to upset the odds ahead of the semi-final first leg at Old Trafford.

"For me, I am not scared of any team. I know what I have to do when I play," said Toure.

"There is more pressure on United because they are the team to beat.

"United are the ones who won it last season, but for us we are going there to do the best we can playing free and passing the ball.

"We know when we play football against Manchester United, they struggle a lot.

"United are a really good team going forward, but, like us at the back, they have conceded a few goals.

"We have the same type of team - we both like to play, but sometimes you can be caught out at the back.

"The team that will win will be the one which defends the best. It is going to be a really big fight."
