Arsenal legend Tony Adams says right back Cedric 'scares the life out of me' after tough day at the office against Man United - but believes a top four spot is there for the taking if Takehiro Tomiyasu gets back to full fitness

Tony Adams believes Arsenal can secure a top-four spot this season but only if Takehiro Tomiyasu starts at right back as opposed to Cedric.

Former Southampton man Cedric started in the 3-1 win against Manchester United on Saturday but struggled up against United's £73m man Jadon Sancho.

Cedric was fortunate not to give away a penalty when he appeared to scoop the ball away with his hand and ex-Gunners captain Adams did not speak highly of the Portuguese defender after the match.

Tomiyasu made his return to action as a late substitute for Cedric and Adams made no secret of who he'd rather have at right back.
