Wes eyes Arsenal scalp

Wes Brown is confident United will prove they are the best team in the country with victory over Arsenal on Sunday.

The Reds go into the Old Trafford clash knowing a win would extinguish the Gunners' title ambitions, whilst edging United ever closer to a tenth Premier League triumph.

Despite seeing their lead chopped down to three points last weekend following the 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough, Brown says the Reds remain confident over their title chances, but maintains victory is a must against Arsenal.

"We always knew we’d need to win this game no matter what happened at Middlesbrough last weekend," he told Sunday's edition of United Review.

"In a way the point at Boro has given us a bit of a boost because we didn’t play well, yet we still managed to get something out of it.

"I think both teams will go for it on Sunday because neither side really gets anything out of a draw.

"It'll be one of those days when everyone has to be on form and up for the game. We have to prove to them that we’re the best team in the country."
