Wenger: Vieira won't bully Arsenal kids

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is adamant Juventus midfielder Patrick Vieira won't intimidate his young players tonight.

Wenger said: "There won't be any psychological barrier.
"Part of a player's career is not to be intimidated on the big occasions. The players have a big respect for Patrick but in the game they'll show they just want to win.
"For us it's a massive opportunity to do something special. We want to deliver that."
Wenger believes Vieira could be the one who is overawed.
He added: "When you come back somewhere you've played for nine years you want to be on top of your game.
"But emotionally it will not be an easy situation to deal with. That can also be intimidating sometimes."
