Setting sights on Arsenal: Porto's Tomas Costa[LNB]Tom?Costa reckons Arsenal will be forced into 'attacking' Porto in the the second leg of the last 16 tie in the Champions League and insists that will play into the Portuguese champions' hands.[LNB]Porto beat Arsenal 2-1 in the first leg on Wednesday night and midfielder Costa believes Porto can seal their place in the quarter-finals by hitting the Gunners on the counter attack when the two sides meet in three weeks' time at the Emirates.[LNB]The Argentina star said: 'Arsenal will have to attack in London and that could be an advantage for us. We'll have some time to prepare for that game and I believe we can get through to the next round. [LNB]'It's going to be a very difficult match in England, but if we believe in ourselves and what we're capable of, we will achieve great things.'[LNB]Costa, however, says Porto must tighten up in defence to avoid being knocked out of the competition after conceding a vital away goal when Sol Campbell struck for Arsenal.[LNB]'We were aware that, like most English teams, Arsenal are very strong at dead balls,' he said. 'But everything happened quickly and sometimes players don't have time to be aware they have an opponent on their back. Against teams like Arsenal, mistakes like that are usually very costly.'[LNB] Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas still 'confident' that Gunners will beat Porto at Emirates and reach last eight of Champions LeagueArsenal face losing Gilles Sunu for nothing as Bordeaux pounce for Gunners striker ARSENAL FC
