Robin van Persie... scored at Eastlands in September
Van Persie - I want to play against Man City
By Nick Teale
Robin Van Persie believes Arsenal's youngsters have a “big chance” to beat Manchester City in the Carling Cup, but says he wants to be involved himself.
The Dutchman has played just 45 minutes of football in the competition over the last four seasons due to Arsène Wenger's policy of giving the cream of the Club's youth players an opportunity to impress.
Van Persie bagged Arsenal's first in the 4-2 Premier League defeat earlier this season, and memories of an eventful affair in Manchester have left the in-form striker relishing the opportunity of a return to Eastlands.
"I want to play that one," he said upon hearing the Carling Cup draw.
"It was a good game last time because they have a good side.
"It will be a good challenge for the youngsters. If they can find the right mix like they did against Liverpool, they have a big chance of winning. They showed some quality in that game."
"We fancy winning this one. I would love to play – if the boss decides to let me play, I am happy to.”
