Newcastle United striker Demba Ba has claims that there is more to Arsenal than Robin van Persie ahead of Monday's match at the Emirates Stadium.

Newcastle United striker Demba Ba has claimed that Arsenal are not a one-man team ahead of Monday's match at the Emirates Stadium.

It has been suggested that Gunners top scorer Robin van Persie is carrying the team single-handedly towards Champions League qualification this season.

Despite the Dutchman's 25 league goals, Ba believes that their opponents have plenty of other players who can cause damage.

"He's fantastic, but I'm more impressed about the team because if you look at the goals he scores, most of them are one touch," the Senegal international told Newcastle's official website.

"That means he just has to hit it and has good movement, and it means the ball is coming right in to his feet or his head.

"So for me it is also about the players who are giving him the ball, and we have to look out for that on Monday."

The Magpies can move to within two points of the top four with a win in London later today.
