Galatasaray midfielder Blerim Dzemaili says his team must approach Wednesday's Champions League match at the Emirates with plenty of respect but no fear.
The Swiss midfielder was a Napoli player when Arsenal beat the Italian side 2-0 at home in last season's competition.
"We have to respect [Arsenal] - that's important - but not to be afraid"
Dzemaili watched that game from the bench and was impressed by the Gunners' style of play.
"Arsenal are a team that play very good football from [the back]," he said. "They try to always play the ball and I remember that they are a team - they go together.
"Everyone [at Arsenal] gives everything for the team so for us it will be important to play as a team, to defend strongly and to play our game. Not to be afraid.
"We have to respect [Arsenal] - that's important - but not to be afraid because I think we have a good team. We can play against every team and I think it's going to be in our hands."
