Arsenal ace Samir Nasri insists Manchester United are frightened of them.
On Tuesday, Arsenal must defend a 2-1 Champions League lead against Spanish superstars Barcelona in the Nou Camp.
Then, on Saturday, they face an FA Cup quarter-final tie at Old Trafford.
But Nasri claimed: "When we played there in the league this season, United were scared of us.
"They didn't play their normal game, they played three defensive midfielders and closed the game down.
"They know we can beat them and I am still convinced we can beat Barcelona next week.
"It was really a nightmare when we played Barcelona in the Champions League last season. We didn't touch the ball and it felt like playing 16 men against 11.
"Maybe we were scared of them but we know we are a better team this time.
"Last year, we went to the Nou Camp and didn't have Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie, Andrey Arshavin, Alex Song and William Gallas.
"Mikael Silvestre played his first game for three months and he was up against Lionel Messi, who scored four goals.
"This time will be different. We have all grown up and have all learned from our mistakes of the past."
