Burnley defender Leon Cort says they'll go at Arsenal full throttle tomorrow.

Cort insists they will not be holding back on their tackles against Arsenal on Saturday.

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.

However, Cort said neither that tackle nor Wenger's comments would have any bearing on their approach at the Emirates Stadium.

"We haven't really spoken about that," said Cort, a team-mate of Shawcross until his £1.5million January move. We are going to go there and still throw tackles in because it is a physical game and we are fighting for our lives.

"I don't believe anyone goes there to kick them. People know that when they play against Arsenal they have to get in their faces and stop them from playing. Maybe Arsene's done it for a psychological advantage. Quite a lot of his players are small and move the ball a lot quicker so there are going to be a lot of mis-timed tackles.

"A lot of teams try to get tight to them and put them under pressure when they get the ball as if they don't they will punish you. The only effect it (Ramsey's injury) will have on them is that they are going to want to win the game for him on Saturday.

"We just have to be strong and try to get what we can."
