David Moyes maintains his Manchester United side are still up for the battle to make the top four of the Barclays Premier League after the goalless draw at Arsenal.

Opposite number Arsene Wenger was pleased with the response from the 5-1 trashing at Liverpool last weekend, if somewhat frustrated by the final result. He said: "It was important not to lose, but it was also important to win. I felt we were nervous. "Our team was highly focused not to concede, and that maybe restricted our game going forward a little bit because we were certainly hit by the five goals we conceded on Saturday, and you could feel that here." Arsenal now host Liverpool in the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday and then tackle Bayern Munich in the last 16 of the Champions League. Wenger said: "(It was) first (about) not losing tonight, then (we can) come back to our normal level offensively. "We have come out two difficult games and are still in a strong position, that is the only positive."
