Vieira: we wont be intimidated

PATRICK VIEIRA believes Arsenal are better placed than ever before to achieve Champions League success and insisted they would not be muscled out of their stride at home or abroad.

Boss Arsene Wenger also vowed that his side would soon be "flying high" again after taking time to recover from the shock of their defeat at Old Trafford.

Arsenal have been left somewhat battered and bruised in physical encounters over the past few weeks, with Sol Campbell and Edu joining Gilberto, Jeremie Aliadiere and Gael Clichy on the injury list.
