Toure has no doubts over young Arsenal strikers Vela, Bendtner

Kolo Toure is confident Arsenal's young strikers Nicklas Bendtner and Carlos Vela will prove their class against Manchester United tomorrow.

"The younger players have shown that they can handle the pressure. When the boss gives them the chances, they score," he said.

"Vela scored three goals against Sheffield United (in the Carling Cup). It wasn't a really easy game and he showed he is a good striker. He is progressing really well.

"Bendtner is doing really well too, he is doing his best at the moment.

"Obviously he didn't score against Fenerbahce but I think on Saturday if he gets a chance he will do it.

"The United defenders are a good test. It's up to them to show now that it doesn't matter against who they play, they can take their chances."
