Gunners drawn against Juventus


Arsenal have been drawn against Serie A leaders Juventus in a mouth watering UEFA CL Quarter final clash setting up the return of former Highbury legend and captain Patrick Vieira to face the North London crowd and his former teammates. Arsenal stunned the world with their victory over Real Madrid with some claiming the second leg to be one of the best 0-0 draw ever, now face Faio Capello's outfit in the first leg at home followed by a trip to Torino. Despite their ragged performance back home in the premiership Arsenal have been brilliant in the Champions league with 6 wins and 2 draws, all set to beat the clean sheet record of AC Milan set last year. They have scored every time when they have left Highbury and won each one of them. Juventus have been brittle in the Champions league though they are nothing short of magnificient in the Serie A this season, but Arsenal would have to adapt their game to the stylish Italian outfit. Well if they could beat Real Madrid and its galacticos they are surely in with a big shout in this. With Van Persie coming back from injury and a chance of Cole coming back, the Gunners are striking form at the right moment after a dissapointing season.
