Midfielder Abou Diaby has said that Arsenal will take the upcoming clash against Manchester United seriously, despite the FA Cup being third in the club's list of priorities.

There is also the small matter of a Champions League clash with AC Milan next week.

Diaby said: "I think we want to play well in every competition whether it's the FA Cup, the Champions League or the League.

"We want to win all of them because we are a big club and we want to win trophies. This Saturday is very important to us.

"Maybe a win will give us a psychological advantage. We just want to give our best and win the game.

"I took a kick around the ankle against Manchester City and my calf felt very stiff.

"I won't make the match against Manchester United, but I hope to be back as soon as I can."

given the proximity of the milan game and united's habit of kicking players wenger must save his best players for next week.

i feel we can win this game gael is an established left back and ronaldo wont be able to beat him for pace and clichy wont get done by his skill. Abou makes a great point we are going to be up for it as it is man u and they are stilling hurting over the manchester derby defeat. Flamini and cesc will be able to contain the midfield and i think that adebayor will run ferdinand ragged , if we play play the ball into the eduardo's feet vidic wont be able to dominate.
