Arsenal captain Cesc admires Birmingham players, fans

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas says there's no grudge against Birmingham City - despite their recent history.

Eduardo will play at St Andrews for the first time since his horror broken leg injury suffered two years ago.

"Birmingham are playing well this season, I like their style," Cesc told The Sun. "They're always attacking and trying to play and they have good players, good fans and a good stadium.

"But we are in a good moment with things going well for us and, at this stage of the season, it is simple - it's a case of win or win.

"Nothing else will do and it doesn't matter how we win, just as long as we win. Obviously it's good to play well, to play attractive, entertaining football. We pride ourselves on that at Arsenal.

"But there are three teams trying to win the league and ask any one of them what's the most important thing - they'll all say to win!

"I didn't always believe that but I have learned in the last three years that it's true - it is more important to win, win, win.

"Because if we do win the Premier League I don't think everyone will remember the way we played, they'll just remember we were champions."
