“Arsenal always fade off in February or March, we will beat them this weekend” – Rooney

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, is confident ahead of Sunday’s clash against league leaders Arsenal, that they will get all three points, as they have mastered the art of beating the Gunners.
The Red Devils are in eighth position on the log – eight points behind Arsene Wenger’s men, but have not lost in eight matches in all competitions....

“We’re obviously capable of beating Arsenal – we’ve done it many times in the past,” the England international told reporters.
“They’re on a good run of form at the moment and are top of the league, so we know it’s going to be a difficult game.
“But we have to go into that game confident, believing we can edge closer to them and bring ourselves back into the mix.”

The 28-year-old, who was linked with a summer move to the Emirates, also stated that it was too early to label Arsenal as favourites to win the title, as they always fade in February or March.
“We’ll have to wait and see where they are in March,” he added. “We’ve seen before that they’ve been in the top two until February and March and then they’ve faded off, so it’s down to them to try to stay there.
“They’re doing brilliantly at the minute and they’re in a great position so it’s up to us to catch them.
“We know we’re capable of playing better and we’re starting to do that; we need to start picking points up and see where we are come Christmas.
“We’re nine or 10 games in so there’s no big worry at the minute. We’re starting to do well so, if we can get the victory on Sunday, I think we’ll be in a great position.”
