Van Persie looking forward to facing Fenerbahce

Striker Robin van Persie says that he's looking forward to facing Fenerbahce tonight, simply because of their 'amazing' fans.

The Dutch international has a good chance of starting the Champions League group match and will be aiming to produce a performance that will silence the Turkish club's fanatical support.

van Persie said: "It will be really tough. I experienced it a few years ago and the fans there are amazing.

"It was really aggressive, but that is their style. You have to deal with the atmosphere. It is not nice but I think if you play for Arsenal you have to adapt and just play your game.

"It will be a good test for us and I will enjoy the game."
