Out-of-form Arsenal head to Milan knowing they must look for a goal in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.

Despite enjoying the best of the chances, The Gunners were held to a 0-0 draw at Emirates Stadium in the first leg.

And, having not won in their last four attempts, the pressure is on Arsene Wenger's side to break through the Milan defence and claim a vital away goal.

However, Wenger has insisted his side must show patience and use their pace to exploit gaps in the home defence.

"What Milan do well is put you to their pace, and when Kaka gets the ball they can have sudden acceleration which can kill you," he told the club's official website.

"We will have to adapt to that because we always like to play at a high pace."

Quartet return

Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti will be confident going into the game as he welcomes back Kaka, Alessandro Nesta, Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Pirlo for the game.

All four players were unavailable for Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Lazio, but have returned to training and are expected to start against Arsenal.

Clarence Seedorf looks likely to miss out, however, with a calf injury.

Teen starlet Alexandre Pato is expected to play as part of a front two alongside either Filippo Inzaghi or Alberto Gilardino, and Kaka will play just behind.

Ancelotti insists he is 'calm' going into the game and believes his side will improve upon their indifferent league form as they defend their Champions League crown.

Toure out

Arsenal have injury problems with Kolo Toure ruled out and the team still apparently shaken by the loss of Croatia striker Eduardo da Silva.

There is a boost with the news that Robin van Persie has recovered sufficiently from his thigh problem to make the squad, but Wenger has said the Dutchman is not ready to start the game.

Theo Walcott is expected to join Van Persie on the bench despite his recent good form, with Abou Diaby and Emmanuel Eboue preferred.

And, in what appears to be a cautious move, early reports suggest Arsenal will field Emmanuel Adebayor alone up front with Alexander Hleb providing support as part of a five-man midfield.

However, Cesc Fabregas says his team-mates have no intention of changing their usual approach.

"We are young, but we are not scared of anything and we will play our game," he said.

"You have always seen if we are winning or losing, we will never go to defend.

"We will always want to attack, because it is the way we like to play and enjoy playing."
