Wenger instils Gunners with belief

12 December 2010 13:30
Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal can produce the needed performance to chalk up another away victory at title rivals Manchester United on Monday night. Wenger, though, admits surprise Arsenal are still in such a strong position given the number of points they have dropped, losing three games at home. He said: "It is in front of us now, we have an opportunity to show how good we are - that is what you want in life. "Let's go without any preconceived ideas, not [thinking] about any weakness of Manchester United, nor about any weakness from us, just let's focus on the day, to give your best, play with belief, play for each other and we have a good chance to beat anybody." Wenger maintained: "I know that my team will be really up for it, and I always have great belief in my players - I know how hungry they are for success and am sure that will come out in the game." A decision on whether to play captain Cesc Fabregas, who is battling to be fit from a hamstring problem, will be left late and Czech midfielder Tomas Rosicky is hoping for a recall, having been on the bench for the midweek Champions League victory over Partizan Belgrade.
