"There is always pressure on us here. We lose a game and it means something to too many people. We all feel it and we don't like losing. That's why we win a lot.
"It'll be a hostile atmosphere, but our players have been in far more hostile arenas in their careers over the years. That is what experience gives you. Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane, Paul Scholes and the Nevilles have been at this club for a long time and that is what they have experienced, going to places where the chips are really down, where the atmosphere is unbelievable.
"It's just a couple of weeks ago that we were at Anfield and that reminds you what Manchester United-Liverpool games are really like. The hairs on the back of your neck are sticking up and in that fantastic atmosphere you have to play. Liverpool and United, and Leeds and United they are fantastic atmospheres. It's like a cauldron. It's great. There is not that same tradition at Arsenal, but it will be intense and hostile and an incredible atmosphere for players to play in.
"We are going there to play. We have had a great discipline in this club, and it's not by accident. There is good discipline among the players and there is good discipline from the manager of the team and I pride myself on that discipline. I am going there with an absolutely clear conscience about how we are going to play.
"We will play to win the game. We will play with great tenacity, with great commitment, great determination and great skill and, hopefully, will get the result we want.
"Even if you win you are racing against the calendar. I read that Chelsea need 11 wins from 14 to win the title, but if they win on Wednesday they would only need 10 from 13 and it becomes even more difficult to catch them."
