Blackburn's Rochina confident of taking down Arsenal

Ruben Rochina is of firm belief that Blackburn Rovers can defeat Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend.

The Rovers got their first point of the season with a 1-1 draw at Fulham on Sunday and Rochina, who scored his side's goal (and his first in the league), is confident that Steve Kean's men can go one better when the Gunners come to Ewood Park on Saturday.

"Fulham are a good team and I think it was a good point," the 20-year old Spaniard told The Lancashire Telegraph. "It was very important. The game wasn't at home, it was a difficult game.

"Arsenal is a good game but I think we must work hard and I think we can win the game. They are a great team but we have many good players and a good team. I think we can win.

"Next weekend I will try for that, and the other players the same."
