Arsene Wenger: We are ready


Arsene Wenger insisted Arsenal are ready for Manchester United - and then promised another Champions League thriller.

Gunners boss Wenger was in confident mood after his brilliant young side destroyed Villarreal with a stunning victory at the Emirates.

Wenger also believes Arsenal can serve up a repeat of Chelsea's European classic with Liverpool in their two- legged semi- final with old rivals United.

"It could be another game like that," said Wenger.

"I believe both teams, Manchester United and Arsenal, always produce very exciting games. Both teams like to go forward and it will be a promising semi- final.

"We are up for the challenge and it will be very interesting. It's a cup competition of 180 minutes and what's more important is the form on the day. Both teams have the same programme - a game in hand to play, an FA Cup semi- final, so how much we are physically okay might have an impact.

“I watched the Liverpool and Chelsea and you can’t say that those who love football can’t want to watch that game.
