VIEIRA TO PLAY

Last updated : 22 October 2004 By Editor
Patrick Vieira is expected to be fit to play for Arsenal on Sunday. No surprises
really after it Arsenal were claiming the player wouldn't have had sufficient time to shake of a knock to his ankle. The threat of Vieira missing the game hasn't
stopped them crowing about their play this season. Henry has been talking
Arsenal up all week.

"So many times this season everyone has mentioned the way we play, but they have forgotten that so many times at home we were losing or the games were
not easy and we just kept on fighting," Thierry Henry said. "That's the thing we
did not have before. We had the passing movements but now we have added the fighting spirit."

However he does respect United

"I respect them a lot," he said. "All the time people try to write them off and
they're always around at the end of the season. We'll see. It's only the 10th game of the season, so it's early."
