Heaton sets out to impress Fergie
.The youngster's priority is helping last year's runners-up cause a massive shock at the Emirates, but Heaton also wants to make an impression with his parent club, Manchester United.[LNB]England Under-21 international Heaton went to Ninian Park on a season-long loan, and although he insists he is concentrating on Cardiff's double assault on league and cup, he has made his ambitions clear.[LNB]"In the long-term my aim is to become first-choice at Manchester United," the 22-year-old told the South Wales Echo.[LNB]"That's a massive task with the likes of Edwin van der Sar, Tomasz Kuszczak and Ben Foster there.[LNB]"I'd love to be the first English goalkeeper at Manchester United for a long time.[LNB]"But that's for the future. This season my entire focus is on producing my best form for Cardiff City."[LNB]After starting the season in the Cardiff first team, an injury he sustained in the defeat at Plymouth in November meant the Chester-born stopper lost his place to Peter Enckelman.[LNB]However the Finn is out for two months after being injured in training, so Heaton will step in against the Gunners with fellow loanee Dimi Konstantopoulos ineligible after playing for rivals Swansea earlier in the competition.[LNB]Heaton knows that Monday's match is his chance to show his class against top opposition, and to earn his first-team place back with the current competition for the goalkeeper's jersey high at Ninian Park.[LNB]"Outfield players can switch and still make the team, but when it comes to playing in goal you are either in or out. There's just one spot," he said.[LNB]Meanwhile, Wales legend John Hartson believes Cardiff captain Ledley will have no problem taking on Premier League opposition.[LNB]Ledley, 22, was linked with a move to the top-flight in January, and Hartson claims the Welshman is already one of the best midfielders in Britain.[LNB]"Joe can spot a pass behind a square defence and he likes a tackle, so all this rubbish that Joe will be found out in the Premiership is just that," former striker Hartson told the Western Mail.[LNB]"I'm convinced Joe will slot into 90% of the clubs in the Premiership as if he was born there. He's already one of the best midfielders in the country now."[LNB][LNB] Arsenal 4/11[LNB], Draw 10/3[LNB], Cardiff 9/1[LNB]
