Rosler: Wigan are the underdog, pressure is on Arsenal

Wigan Athletic boss Uwe Rosler has deflected the pressure onto Arsenal ahead of this weekend's FA Cup semi-final.

The Latics, chasing their second straight FA Cup, take on the Gunners at Wembley on Saturday but Rosler feels his side are the underdogs against Arsene Wenger's men who have experienced some woes in the Premier League recently.

"We're going to Wembley and we're meeting a top team in the Premier League," Rosler said.

"We are the massive underdog but we have presented ourselves so far in a very, very good way. We've made our supporters proud and we're going to Wembley; we can't lose, we only can win.

"Everybody highlighted the fact Arsenal now really have to go for the FA Cup and win the FA Cup. Their own players said that this week and obviously that puts a little bit of extra pressure on Arsenal."
