Arsene Wenger admits he is relishing Arsenals special clash against rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford on Super Sunday. Marco Reus Trikot Günstig . Title-chasing Arsenal face United on Sunday lunchtime, live on Sky Sports 1, looking to make it three league wins in a row, after last weekends goalless FA Cup draw against Hull was followed by a 2-0 midweek Champions League loss to Barcelona.Arsenal head into the encounter as favourites for a league game at Old Trafford for the first time in the Premier League era but Wenger insists his only focus is how his side performs on the day. Man Utd is a big club and Old Trafford is a special place, the Arsenal manager told reporters at his pre-match news conference.I believe for every club it remains a special fixture but for me favourites has no special meaning, its opinions.Results are down to performances and reality and thats what we focus on. Favourites is just good for talk. Lionel Messis double saw Arsenal lose to Barcelona in midweek The Gunners go into the weekend just two points behind leaders Leicester, but with an FA Cup replay and the return leg against Barcelona to come, Wengers men face a run of seven games in 22 days.It is the key period, said the Frenchman. We work the whole season for this period and thats where youre really tested but its where you have an opportunity to show your quality as well. On that front, I agree that it is the most interesting period of the season. Its a period of the season where you can show quality, nerves and desire as well.Everybody drops points. It is unpredictable. We have rebuilt a good run in the Premier League and we need to continue that. We need to get over the disappointment of the result in the Champions League.We need to focus on the Premier League where we have a big part to play. How many points that will be needed, we dont know. Lets not set any limit on the number of points we can get. Alexis Sanchez scored twice in win against United last October Despite a title drought of 12 years, Wengers position as manager does not appear to be under any threat in sharp contrast to United counterpart Louis van Gaal, who has faced scrutiny for much of the season.Van Gaals side have won just two of their last six Premier League games and were thoroughly outplayed in a 3-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium in October. Jamie Redknapp joins Ed Chamberlin to preview Sundays clash at Old Trafford where Manchester United host title chasing Arsenal. I do not want to speak too much about Man United because we are more focused on us and preparing for an important game. Of course Van Gaal has my respect and my sympathy, he added.What can you do? Not a lot but do your job and use your potential of resistance to stress and focus on your job.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Tommy Armstrong Jr. led a 91-yard tiebreaking touchdown drive after being helped off the field with an ankle injury the previous series, and Kieron Williams interception with 1:29 left secured No. 21 Nebraskas 24-17 victory over Minnesota on Saturday night.Armstrong, knocked unconscious in last weeks loss at Ohio State, was cleared to start against the Gophers and was playing one of his best games in weeks when he injured his left ankle on a quarterback sneak late in the third quarter.He came back to loud cheers on the Cornhuskers early in the fourth and scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 13-yard run with 7:17 left. He stumbled into the end zone, came up hobbling with a hamstring injury and was carried to the sideline by two offensive linemen.You all know Tommy. Youve seen him for years, Nebraska coach Mike Riley said. He is very, very competitive and he doesnt ever like to come out of the game. He always thinks hes going to make the next play.Williams intercepted Mitch Leidners tipped pass after the Gophers had driven to the Nebraska 17, and backup quarterback Ryker Fyfe took the final snaps as the Huskers (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten) won for the first time in three games and a week after getting humiliated 62-3 at Ohio State.Minnesota (7-3, 4-3) had its four-game win streak ended.Armstrong was 19 for 27 for 217 yards with two touchdowns, and he ran niine times for 61 yards.

Newby tied it 17-all in the third quarter, taking a screen pass from Armstrong 31 yards to the end zone.You go the road and you have a chance, Gophers coach Tracy Claeys said. But we didnt play well enough in the second half to win the ball game; Nebraska played better than we did.THE TAKEAWAYMinnesota: The Gophers lost control of their destiny in the Big Ten West. They might regret some of their play-calling against the Huskers. Other than a few occasions Rodney Smith broke some good runs, it was mostly futile for them to try to run up the middle.Nebraska: If anyone doubted Armstrongs toughness, he proved his mettle. He also showed he is the most important player on this team. If he goes down, the Huskers are in deep trouble.UP NEXTMinnesota hosts Northwestern, which shut out the Gophers 27-0 last year.Nebraska hosts Maryland in the first meeting of the teams.---More AP college football at http://collegefootball.ap.org ;Wholesale NFL Gear Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys NFL Jerseys Outlet Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL T-shirts ' ' '
