Ezgjan Alioski: We need to go there with confidence

Winger on Arsenal clash.

Leeds United winger Ezgjan Alioski spoke to the media ahead of Monday’s Emirates FA Cup third round tie with Arsenal.

The Whites head to the Emirates Stadium, looking to cause an upset in North London against the Premier League side.

Alioski insists there will be no fear when the Whites travel south and insists anything is possible in the FA Cup.

“We can’t be scared of going there because it is Arsenal,” said Alioski.

“It’s a nice stadium to play at and of course it is a big club.

“It’s not so special to think we’re going there because it’s Arsenal, because I think if it’s Leeds in the Premier League, it is also a big club.

“It’s not a big difference, the difference is they are in the Premier League and we are in the Championship and it is nice to be able to go there and show them who Leeds are.

“They have had a difficult period, losing lots of games, but this is a cup and it’s different, it’s not the same as the league and in the cup there can always be a surprise.

“It’s important that we go there and try to play the football Marcelo Bielsa wants.

“I think we need to go there with a lot of confidence, which we always have, and to play the game which we always do.

“Everybody knows Arsenal and they are a big club, but we are also a good team and we show it.”
