Arsene Wenger has claimed his Arsenal side will set their stall out to attack against Villarreal in the Champions League tonight.
The Frenchman's side earned a 1-1 draw in Spain in the first leg last week, meaning a clean sheet at the Emirates Stadium will be enough to see them through into the semi-finals.
But the manager believes his relatively young side will be incapable of playing for a goalless draw.
"I don't believe that we are a team who can play for 0-0," he explained.
"If there are five minutes to go and it's 0-0 even goal kicks make you nervous."
Wenger admitted the away goal - which came courtesy of Emmanuel Adebayor's spectacular overhead kick - "could be important" but refused to allow his side to rest on their laurels.
"[Villarreal] can be dangerous," the Gunners boss added. "They have few weaknesses."
