Wigan boss Bruce: Arsenal can win Champions League

Wigan Athletic boss Steve Bruce says Arsenal are well capable of winning the Champions League.

Ahead of this weekend's clash, Bruce told the Wigan Evening Post: "Arsenal are playing well at the moment, they have their big players back, and I'm a big admirer of Arsene Wenger.

"He never loses his belief in players, when results aren't going their way, he doesn't wobble in that belief.

"Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor being back from injury is a real boost to him, Arsenal are looking very dangerous and a good team again.

"They are capable of winning the Champions League, make no mistake about that.

"I can see them getting to the final - catch Arsenal on the wrong day and they are a marvellous team.

"In some ways the end of the season is coming around a bit too early for them because they're just beginning to get going again.

"They've been hit by injuries at key times of the season. Fabregas was missing for a long time, so was Adebayor, while Tomas Rosicky hasn't played at all."
