Keown: The winning difference between Wenger and Mourinho...

Arsenal hero Martin Keown insists Arsene Wenger will be prepared to win ugly against Chelsea.

Keown wrote in the Daily Mail: "This game is being billed as Beauty v the Beast, but don't underestimate Arsene Wenger. It's not just about style - he plays to win.

"The philosophy Wenger has imposed has made Arsenal popular throughout the world. People love to watch them, certainly more than Jose Mourinho's teams.

"But on Sunday, he is up against the ultimate pragmatist - Mourinho finds any way to win. Chelsea have conceded just two goals in their last six clashes with Arsenal, keeping four clean sheets in the process. Mourinho does exactly what's necessary.

"So while Wenger always aims to win, he still cares about the brand of football played. Mourinho's brand is winning."
