We may be heading to the home of league leaders Manchester City on Sunday, but Theo Walcott isn’t daunted by the prospect.
The forward is our top scorer at the Etihad Stadium and says that although he has been impressed by Pep Guardiola’s side, he feels we have the quality to win the game.
“We need to concentrate on our strengths because we are quietly going about our business in the Premier League at this time,” Walcott said. “It is going to be the biggest test we have faced this season so far.
“Everyone needs to be ready, it isn't going to be easy but, without doubt, we have a chance. We have quality throughout this whole squad.
“It is very early days still but they seem to score more goals, but defensively I still feel like we can get at them, they will be worried about us.
“We need to concentrate on their main threats but you can't go into a game being afraid of teams because that is a negative straight away. You need to be positive.”
