Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has slammed Arsenal as a "training center", due to their lack of silverware in recent years.
The two sides clash at Old Trafford on Monday, with the Gunners having not won any significant honor since the FA Cup in 2005 when they beat United on penalties.
At the time, the game was goalless after 120 minutes of play, and the spot-kicks saw Patrick Vieira score to help his side to the trophy - in what was to be his last kick of the ball for the north London club.
Fast forward five years, and Arsene Wenger's men are yet to win some silverware, prompting the Frenchman to add more emphasis on the League Cup this term.
Ahead of the Premier League game between the two sides, Evra told French TV channel Canal+: "Arsenal, a big club like that, have won nothing for five years. For me, it's a crisis, it's ridiculous.
