Manchester United defender Patrice Evra warns his team-mates to take Arsenal seriously
Manchester United defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231, has compared Arsenal to a wounded animal, warning his team ahead of The Red Devils’ Premier League showdown with the Gunners on Sunday, May 1, 2011.
The Frenchman believes that Arsenal will come all guns blazing after seeing their title hopes shattered against Bolton in the last week’s action. The Gunners now trail the league leaders, Manchester, United by nine points. With only four matches left to play in the season, overturning this huge deficit will be a mammoth job for Arsene Wenger’s team.
Evra has warned his team-mates that the Gunners could take their frustration out on United.
Talking to the reporters, Evra said, “You have to fear the wounded animal. It is all or nothing for Arsenal so that is a danger. They will want to show they can still win the title."
The Red Devils have enjoyed a good time in their previous visits at the Emirates Stadium but Evra has warned his team not to get carried away with the record as it takes seconds a team to tumble.
"We have a good record at Arsenal but statistics can change so quickly. Everyone used to say how Arsenal kept losing to Chelsea and then they beat them. We kept losing at Stamford Bridge but won there in the Champions League Our record at the Emirates will hurt them and they will want to do something about it." added the left-back
The former AS Monaco defender knows the importance of the game and believes that a win will definitely ensure them as the Premier League Champions for 2010/11 season. However, a loss in this game coupled with a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 victory over Tottenham Hotspur will throw the title race open as it will reduce United’s lead at the top to just three points.
The former French national captain is desperate to win the double of Premier League and UEFA Champions League for the second time in his career. United have one foot in the Champions League final after winning the first leg of the semi-final 2-0 against Schalke’04.
