Alan Stubbs says Monday's opponents at Pride Park Stadium - a big match for which just a handful of tickets were available on Friday afternoon - are a one-off in the British game.

Arsene Wenger's Arsenal ride into town for the 8pm kick-off with a hearty endorsement ringing in their ears from the veteran defender.

"It's going to be a tough game," he tells RamsWorld in an interview to be broadcast on Friday to subscribers.

"Whenever you play Arsenal it's a completely different game to what you usually come up against. The words 'total football' aren't often used in this country, but if there's one team that comes close to playing that way, it's certainly Arsenal."

"We have got to try to take as many positives as possible out of the remaining games," Stubbsy continues.

"Although we are now building for the first game next season when we want to hit the ground running, the three remaining games are important because players are playing for their futures, but also we need to put on a show for the fans more than anything. If anyone deserves to take any credit out of this season it is certainly the fans.

"Since I have come here I can't believe how patient and good they gave been to be honest."
