Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain inspired by Arsenal 'Invincibles'

By Sian Cowper, Reporter | 07 March 2015

Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hopes that talking to members of the 2003-04 'Invincibles' will give the team confidence ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final with Man United.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has revealed that he has been inspired by a documentary on Arsenal's unbeaten Premier League-winning side from the 2003-04 season.

The FA Cup holders travel to Old Trafford on Monday for their quarter-final against Manchester United, who beat them in the league earlier in the season.

The Gunners midfielder told the club's website: "When we go there it's a tough environment. The game we always speak about is the 8-2 but you can't go into those games with any doubt or any fear.

"I was at the premiere of the Invincibles documentary the other day and was listening to legends like Martin Keown and Thierry Henry talking about how they had no fear going into those games.

"They had no doubt they were going to get the right result. That's clearly the kind of attitude that you need to take into those big games. You have to believe in yourself, go there with no fear, be 100% confident in yourself and go to get the result we are capable of getting."

Arsenal have won four of their last five matches.
