Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky has revealed a goal scoring bet has been made among teammates.

"We have talked about scoring goals in midfield - me, Cesc and Alex Hleb," said Rosicky. "We talked about preparing a bet between us.

"I hope I can win it. It includes all competitions - Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup. When you look at those competitions last year I would have been the winner.

"It will be nice to win again but the most important thing is that we win the games. It doesn't really matter who scores."

He added: "I had a lot of small injuries last season. Nothing big only small ones. When I was feeling good and strong on the pitch this always drew me back.

"We have a good squad now, there is a lot of competition and everybody wants to play but if I can play this season and stay free of injuries it will be good for me and the team."
