What the Managers Say

Arsene Wenger: "Tony Pulis has done a very good job with them and, from a desperate situation, got them out of the relegation zone. He's stabilised their defensive record, built up belief again so, you must say, he has done extremely well."

David Kemp (Technical coach): "It is a fantastic place to go. It is a great stadium and Arsenal are doing well this season. We have performed well in these big games so far, so let's take it a step further. It is a learning experience - the players will certainly take some confidence from those performances."
