Arsenal's Brazilian midfielder Denilson insists the team cannot afford to take Bolton lightly this weekend at the Emirates.

Owen Coyle's side proved tough opposition for the Gunners last season, taking a shock 2-0 lead before eventually being beaten 4-2 in January.

Denilson believes that Arsenal have to treat every team with respect if they are to collect the points necessary to finally win the title this year.

He said: "When you play Bolton you can't think that it is an easy game.

"You have to think it is a good game, a brilliant game and you have to win, the same as if you play Chelsea or Manchester United. You have to focus for every game.

"We have a good opportunity to win, you always do when you play at home."

Meanwhile Bolton boss Coyle is preparing to face Arsenal's Jack Wilshere, whom he had on loan at the Reebok for the second half of last season.

Coyle believes the 18-year-old to be a quality player, and knows his threat will need to be nullified in this game.

He said: "Jack is a very talented player. He is such a gifted lad and has matured no end. He came to us as a boy and went back to Arsenal as a man. He showed that by playing in the Arsenal first team and by turning out for England at full international level. There is no doubt he is going to have a glittering career.

"He knows the way we work and he has a lot of friends here. But during the match we will try to nullify the threat he poses."
