Midfielder Francesc Fabregas has said that his team need to win at Old Trafford today to ensure that they have a chance of winning the league, echoing his manager's sentiments.

Fabregas said: "Being knocked out of the Champions League is still in our minds, but this Sunday, Arsenal have to give everything to win and to fight for the Premier League. I am not mad, but if we win at Old Trafford, the title is possible.

"A point has no value. We want only three points and to fight for the title until the last moment.

"A match at Old Trafford is special for many reasons. A victory in this stadium will always be sweet for me, personally, and for the team. The FA Cup defeat was hard to take and the team are dreaming of sporting revenge at a crucial time."

Striker Emmanuel Adebayor was also confident of his team's title prospects should they manage to earn all three points by beating Manchester United today.

The Togolese international has lost his scoring touch in recent games but is hoping to fire his team to victory against the league leaders.

Adebayor said: "I think if we win at Old Trafford we can win the title because it will bring our confidence back fully.

"For us to go and win there will be a huge thing. We are not so far away for that. Every morning in training, no matter what, our football is attacking.

"We are not going there to sit back. We cannot. Arsenal football is to push forward all the time. Everyone knows that.

"We are going to put them under pressure, we will show them what we can do. We have a big chance against (United) to show people that what happened in the first and second leg against Liverpool was a mistake by the referees.

"From this season, I can tell you how much we have learnt They will not be going the same again.

"Next year if we are five points ahead in March, for sure nobody will catch us."
