Fergie:

“We know Saturday's game is going to be a hard one. There is
not a lot between the two sides. There will be an intense
atmosphere and we will have plenty of fans there as well,
which will help us because they offer such marvellous
support.

“We played with great determination and pride yesterday and
that should stand us in good stead too. We have done well at
Aston Villa in the past and overall, we are really looking
forward to it.”

Arsene Wenger may rest Thierry Henry and Freddie Ljungberg,
as they are both due to play international matches during
the week:

“It is possible the players who go away on international
duty won't play. We have a week where we can work on the
recovery of our players, which is really welcome. That is
why I will be able to rest some players if I feel they have
played too much for their national sides. I am hoping none
of them has to go through more than 45 minutes but we will
check them when they get back.”
