'If we go through, we'll be dangerous'

 By Lloyd Webb

Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal will be a threat to anyone if they qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.

The Gunners must beat Olympiacos on Wednesday night by two goals, or win by a one-goal margin and score three times if they are to advance from Group F.

"We have gone 15 times out of the group consecutively so you could say that is a good habit"

Wenger says Arsenal have shown they can overcome difficult situations and have proved they can be a threat to any opponent.

“We can be dangerous if we go through because we come from far,” he said. “Overall if you look at the numbers since the start of the Champions League group stage, we have played with 10 men in Zagreb, we scored an own goal at home to Olympiacos, every single game we were a bit unlucky but if we get through we will be dangerous that is for sure.

“At the moment we have two or three super-favourites [for the competition] and whoever gets through will have to chase them.

"As long as you don't win the competition – at any stage to go out is bad. That is basically it. On the other hand, we have gone 15 times out of the group consecutively so you could say that is a good habit.”
