Arsenal are ready to face Barça. The 'Gunners' have a good chance of getting through and they don’t want to miss it, Wenger said: "We face every game as the most important and, in the case of the Barça game we are just thinking about winning and continuing the good run of results we have so far in the other competitions".

"I don’t like tricks"

Wenger was very clear about the possible presence of Van Persie in the team against Barça: "I don’t like tricks or deceiving people. His recovery over the past three days has been pretty good. On Tuesday morning we’ll check him out, and if he’s Ok he’ll play. A lot will depend on him, but if he’s not 100% then he won’t play”.

"Faithful to our philosophy"

Arsene Wenger is convinced that "both teams will be looking to win without giving up on our playing philosophy. We play a very similar football. We both like having the ball and we’re both committed to attack. Neither of us will speculate with the result".
