Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas wants his team mates to prove their true form with a victory over Manchester United at the weekend. The Gunners are going through a slump in form meaning they have now gone three games without a victory.

"We have to keep going," Fabregas said. "The next match, against Manchester United, is massive. This is welcomed because it's a big game and big players want to play in big games.

"We don't want excuses because we are playing for Arsenal and a lot of players would like to be in our position. We have to make sure we give everything on the pitch always."
