Arsene Wenger: Shakhtar have similar game to Arsenal

- I believe there are hidden dangers in Arsenal's Champions League draw. I think the group is more difficult than it looks because we have Shakhtar Donetsk and Braga who are two very good teams. Also there is a lot of travel too. We will be favourites but we start one week after the internationals when the players will have been away. I am very confident of course and I am sure we will come out of it. But I don't think we have an easy group. We'll need to be on our toes.
 
- We have more experience than the other teams but Shakhtar have some experience themselves and people forget Braga knocked out Sevilla by winning both games in the play-offs.

- I did not expect to see Eduardo so quickly but we are happy to see him back, I spotted him in a Champions League game and now he tries to hit us again. We had two tough games against Shakhtar. These days they are a more technical side than they were because there is a lot of Brazilian influence. In fact I feel they have a similar game to Arsenal.
