Mikel Arteta responds to Jose Mourinho comparisons amid criticism of team news tactics

Mikel Arteta has said that he will keep the opposition guessing with vague team news updates.

The Spaniard came in for criticism after stirring up doubt over the fitness of Bukayo Saka, Jurrien Timber heading into Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool only for both players to start the game – with Saka scoring the opener. The approach was very much on brand for Arteta, who likes to keep his cards close to his chest when it comes to injury news. This is something that’s unlikely to change in the future.
