Wolves captain,  Karl Henry says his team is ready to shock Arsenal at their own backyard when they clash this afternoon in English Premier League match.

Wolves have run unbeaten in their last eight games which boost their confidence and the skipper hopes his team-mates will go there with great spirits and no fear.

"These are the games to relish and especially so given the way we've been playing recently," says Henry to club’s official site.

"I think we've shown that we're a good side and there's probably no bigger test of that than Arsenal.

"But we'll go there in great spirits and with no fear.

"I've not even been to the Emirates before but it looks like a great stadium and everyone talks about how good the pitch is.

"Obviously that suits Arsenal but we will also be trying to play some football when we get hold of it!

"It's going to be a great day but we're confident we can go there and get a result."

Cesc Fabregas, Andrei Arshavin and William Gallas have been ruled of today’s game due to injury problems and Henry says it might be a good time to play the Gunners but was cautious about Arsenal’s in depth strength.

"If they are a bit tired as a result and have also picked up a few injuries than it might be in our favour.

"It might be a good time to play them but you also have to remember they've got so much strength in depth which is why they are such a top class side.

"They've got quality players to come in and it's up to us to take whatever opportunity we can to use to our advantage."

Almost 3,000 Wolves fans will be travelling to the Emirates Stadium and the skipper applauded the supporters for their whole-heartedly support this season.

"The fans have been great all season," he said.

"They've been filling those away ends and the support certainly helps us especially in this League where there are so many tough games.

"When they get behind us as they do it really spurs us on.

"They've played a big part in the season so far and if we can go on and stay up they'll have played a big part in keeping us in the league.

"No one from outside the club will be backing us to get anything when we go to Arsenal so it will be a massive boost to hear the fans making so much noise.

"Hopefully we can give them something to shout about in return."
