Cardiff City's "dangerous" ability to spring a surprise has left Arsene Wenger with no illusions about tomorrow's clash in Wales, especially following last Sunday's result.
Cardiff pulled off a 2-2 draw against Manchester United with a late equaliser, something Arsenal boss Wenger feels most other teams would have given up on.
Malky Mackay's charges had already beaten Manchester City at home, alongside a goalless draw with Everton and a crucial 1-0 win over rivals Swansea City.
All that has combined to put Wenger well on his guard, as he told a press conference via his club: "We have been given a warning of the performances they put in against big teams.

"They have a good solidarity, togetherness, fantastic support and they are all on the same wavelength. They are very efficient especially on set pieces.
"Even on Sunday against Man United, going 2-1 down, many teams would have had the feeling that they couldn't come back.
"But with them you got the feeling that they weren't giving up and you felt they could come back.
"So it is that special attitude and belief that makes them dangerous. We are in a position where we have a difficult challenge, but a very exciting one."
Arsenal will go into the match at the Cardiff City Stadium off the back of a 2-0 Champions League win over Marseille, and their 2-0 league win over Southampton last Saturday.
