Adebayor in upbeat mood

Emmanuel Adebayor is convinced Arsenal have the knowhow to overcome Liverpool in the second leg of their Champions League quarter final.

The Gunners must find a goal at Anfield to stand any chance of reaching the last four, having been held 1-1 at home last week.

Adebayor is likely to play a key role for Arsenal on Tuesday and he is hopeful The Gunners will not be so profligate on Merseyside.

"We know they have good players and we know how they work," he said. "We know what we need to do to succeed.

"We have to believe that we can win at Anfield. It will be difficult, very tough. But we have the confidence to win - we had enough chances at The Emirates.

"On paper it is very tough. We just have to keep on going, keep on trying to find a way to score.

"We had a lot of chances to win the game but didn't take them. We know it is going to be very difficult at Liverpool and we need some luck."

Adebayor believes Theo Walcott could be one of the key threats for Arsenal after making a major impact as a substitute in the first leg.

"I think he is ready,” said the Togo man. “He is a very good player. He is still learning but he is ready. He is showing he is here to play good football for Arsenal."
