Wenger: United will provide a different challenge

ARSENAL manager Arsene Wenger is confident the Gunners’ Champions League semi-final clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford tomorrow night will result in a different outcome FA Cup semi-final heartbreak at the hands of Chelsea 10 days ago.

Arsenal led 1-0 against Chelsea in the FA Cup at Wembley thanks to Theo Walcott’s 18th-minute volley. But Florent Malouda equalised and Didier Drogba struck the winner six minutes from time. Since that defeat, Arsenal contested the incredible 4-4 draw with Liverpool last Tuesday before defeating Middlesbrough at Emirates Stadium at the weekend, a result that extended an unbeaten Barclays Premier League run to 20 matches

Wenger has been impressed by his side’s response to their FA Cup setback and he can see a marked difference between Arsenal’s Wembley opponents and Alex Ferguson’s side.
