Wenger: 'We focus on the short-term target'

"We have confidence and that is down to the slow progress we have accumulated from game to game in the Premier League. Confidence transfers from one competition to the other that's why we cannot choose any competition and just want to play well in every single competition."

"We used our passing well and gave them a lot of problems. We were explosive on counter attack."

"It is a cup competition of 180 minutes, and what is important is the form on the day. Both teams have the same programme - a game in hand to play in the league, a cup semi-final, so how much we are physically okay might have an impact. That's one of the great things about these type of games - they are not predictable.

"You can say that Manchester United are an attacking team so it should be a good game but sometimes, you can cancel each other out. It is a test, but it is a challenge you relish and we are excited about that.

"I would not like speculate on any weakness of Man United. They will be strong on the day, but it should encourage us to be at our best. We have games before Man United, so let's try and continue our run.

"Now, the most important thing is Chelsea. We focus on the short-term target."
