Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is determined to put his injury hell in the rear view mirror.

The Japan international came back from the Asia Cup in February with a calf issue that has derailed his season.

However, he has started the last three matches for the Premier League giants.

The two centre-backs, Gabi and [William] Saliba, they are so consistent - and so is Ben [White] as well," Tomiyasu said, per The Standard.

We have had a lot of clean sheets because of them. I want to be part of that [defense]. We will try to get another clean sheet at Old Trafford as well.

Obviously it won't be an easy game because it is a tough place to play and take three points. But we are confident and we will be there to get three points.

If we win the title, we will be happy. I don't want anything else, we just want the title. For me, there has not been many chances to be involved in this title race, so I am happy I am involved now. If there is a chance in front of us, we have to go for it and take it."
