Wenger says Arsenal ready to match hard-running Borussia Dortmund style

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits his players will be ready for Borussia Dortmund's hard-running style tonight.

The Gunners cannot afford defeat in their Champions League clash.

"We look at it," Wenger said. "The distances we run are important but it is not how much you run, it is where you run and how intelligently you run.

"Usually the teams who have the ball less run more.

"It [running] is important in the modern game, especially when you play against Dortmund, a team of high potential. It is important that your team raises their level to their maximum."
