Robinho out to "exploit" Arsenal's defence

AC Milan striker Robinho says that Arsenal have "lost power" since they sold Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri.

AC Milan forward Robinho believes that Arsenal "are not the same" without Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri, which he believes will work in the Italian giants' favour as they take on the Gunners in the Champions League tonight.

The two sides meet in the first leg of their round-of-16 clash this evening, with the former Manchester City star prepared to expose the Premier League side's weaknesses.

"Our first objective is to keep them to zero in Milan," Robinho told Sky Sports News. "If that happens then we increase our chances of making the next round because we will be able to score in London.

"People have also spoken about the problems in the Arsenal defence, and if that is right we will need to exploit this factor, but when you're in a match every player normally comes up with his best.

"But Arsenal does not practise the habitual English game, because they are actually very open. They have swiftness in attack with somebody like Walcott, but football is not about a quality of an individual, the best team is always from working together.

"But they are not the same side and have lost the power without Cesc Fabregas, Nasri and Wilshere, although they have improved in the last few months, and they seem to now attack without fear."

Arsenal have snatched two victories from both of their visits to the San Siro.
