Partizan boss warns his side should not be underestimated

Partizan Belgrade manager Alexander Stanojevic believes his side have "nothing to lose" against Arsenal in their final UEFA Champions League match on Wednesday. The Gunners need to win at the Emirates to make sure of qualification through their group after two defeats in their last two games left them on the brink of going out. Partizan have proved to be the Group H's whipping boys, having not picked up a point in all five games so far, scoring just one goal. But Stanojevic had a word of caution for Arsene Wenger's team, insisting that his young side could cause an upset with nothing to play for. "We will try to play our best, to score and not to let in too many goals, to try to achieve a positive result," he said.

Attack

"We will be really happy if we cannot lose like Braga or Shakhtar. "This is our last match in the Champions League and we have nothing to lose, so we will try to get the first point." "We know Arsenal have some problems in defence, but they also play very offensively and like to attack a lot. "For us, we have to defend their counter attacks, and also try to get behind their defence. "We did this in the first match in Belgrade and were really dangerous, but when you play against a team which lots of attacking players, it is difficult. "We are not afraid of any individual players, but we can see Samir Nasri is in good form, Andrey Arshavin is always dangerous. "The whole team is very compact and Arsenal always play with a good spirit."
