# Bacary Sagna: all the pressure is now on Manchester United after Arsenal
|
|
victory over Stoke City
|
|
|
|
## Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna has said all the pressure is now on
|
|
Manchester United after Wednesday night's 1-0 win over Stoke saw Arsene
|
|
Wernger's men climb to within a point of the Premier League leaders.

Sebastien Squillaci scored the only goal of the match.
|
|
|
|
**[United][6]** are currently on 57 points and have a game in hand over their
|
|
nearest rivals. Sir Alex Ferguson's side now travel to Wigan on Saturday,
|
|
aiming to extend their advantage to four points if they can come away from the
|
|
DW Stadium with victory.
|
|
|
|
**[Arsenal][7]**, meanwhile, face Birmingham on Sunday in the Carling Cup
|
|
final.
|
|
|
|
However, the Gunners' hopes of winning their first piece of silverware in six
|
|
years have taken a serious blow after Theo Walcott and Cesc Fabregas both
|
|
picked up injuries against Stoke.
|
|
|
|
Walcott is out of this weekend's final after spraining his ankle, while
|
|
Fabregas injured his hamstring in the first half and is a doubt.

The duo are being assessed by Arsenal's medical staff and the club will hope
|
|
that Fabregas has not suffered a recurrence of the hamstring complaint that
|
|
kept him out for most of December.
|
|
|
|
Sagna, though, believes Sunday's Wembley fixture comes as a welcome
|
|
distraction for Arsenal from the Premier League title fight, and that the
|
|
focus is now on United to maintain their own assault.
|
|
|
|
Sagna told _Arsenal TV Online_: "The pressure is definitely on Manchester
|
|
United now. We are only a point behind and that will be difficult for them.
|
|
|
|
"We are so close and we won't give up because we want to finish as champions.
|
|
|
|
"Victory against Stoke was very important for us. It was quite physical,
|
|
tough, and it was not easy but we won."
