Burnley boss Brian Laws says they won't be shy facing Arsenal tomorrow.

Last weekend Arsene Wenger criticised Stoke for an over-physical approach after the 3-1 victory at the Britannia Stadium.

That was prompted by Ryan Shawcross' challenge on Aaron Ramsey which left the teenager with a double break of his right leg.

Laws said: "I think everyone seems to be focusing on the Ramsey scenario - and no-one wishes an injury like that on anyone.

"Arsene Wenger has mentioned the fact and so it gets scrutinised even more but we can't worry about that as long as we go in there and challenge fairly and be strong. People talk about 'getting in their faces' and if that is what it takes then that is what we will have to do.

"But you can still tackle well and still tackle with authority and purpose without being dirty or over-the-top. I don't believe any team targets Arsenal. I think he (Wenger) has been hard done-by in losing three players to broken legs in a relatively short space of time.

"I think he is more angry about that than anything else but I don't think he can accuse anyone of doing it deliberately.

"Shawcross is a strong tackler but when you look at it there was no malice in it, it was more bad timing."
