BOSS SPEAKS
Speaking on Sky Sports ahead of the game, Mikel Arteta says: “We have another great opportunity tonight to make it four [league] wins and we want to take that.
“We need more consistent form at home, today has to be a good day.
“They’re a dangerous team away from home, they’re great on the counter and with set-pieces, they’re organised, so it will be tough.”
On injuries, he added: ” Kieran [Tierney] had some muscle soreness, he hasn’t recovered well and he wasn’t comfortable to start – in this period we can’t take the risk.
“Gabriel is feeling much better, had a good week of training, Thomas [Partey] has been trying to push us for a week or so, so I think he can get some minutes today.
“It’s good news that we’re getting some people back.”
