Arsenal manager Arsene says his side have a point to
prove when they travel to Old Trafford to face Premier League
champions-elect Manchester United at the weekend.
The Gunners are still smarting from their comprehensive
Champions League semi-final defeat to Sir Alex Ferguson's side,
with Chelsea rubbing salt into the wound last Sunday with a
humiliating 4-1 drubbing at the Emirates Stadium.
United's win at Wigan on Wednesday night leaves the Red Devils
needing just a single point from their final two league games to
secure a third consecutive title and 18th overall, equalling
arch-rivals Liverpool's feat.
But of Ferguson's 10 Premier League titles to date, only one -
in 1999 against Tottenham Hotspur - has actually been secured at
the Theatre of Dreams.
And Wenger is determined to see his demoralised side spoil the
Scot's party yet again and take all three points back to North
London.
“We have a point to prove, definitely," he said.
“It looks like it will be Man United who win the league but we
can still delay it. We want to play for our pride and be respected
for who we are, that is people who love the game they play.
“We promised ourselves on the first of January we would give
everything in every game until the end of the season.
“This is where we can show we are capable to do that.”
