Sir Alex Ferguson is confident Patrice Evra can nullify the threat of winger Theo Walcott when Manchester United meet Arsenal on Wednesday.[LNB] United welcome the Gunners to Old Trafford for their UEFA Champions League semi-final first-leg and the Scot has challenged his side to take a clean sheet down to Emirates Stadium in a week's time.[LNB]If they are to shut the North Londoners out they will need to keep the lightning quick Walcott quiet, a responsibility that is likely to fall on Evra's shoulders.[LNB]The Frenchman has been given a torrid time by Tottenham speedster Aaron Lennon whenever the pair have come up against each other this season but his manager believes he is up to the task.[LNB]"Patrice Evra is quick enough," he said.[LNB]"He has played against Theo Walcott a few times and been alright with that.[LNB]"Walcott is very quick, probably the quickest forward in England at the moment, so we will have to prepare in the right way."[LNB]
