Mikel Arteta knows he must get his Arsenal team selection spot on for the clash at Manchester City.
“For sure we will prepare to try and win, like we did tonight. That’s been the message already,” the Spaniard said after Thursday’s 0-0 draw with Atalanta.
“In order to do that [win at Man City] there are going to be things that we have to do much better than tonight. There are some things that we have done exceptionally well tonight and we are going to have to do them again. Because we all know we need a big performance to beat them.”
The Gunners were undefeated against Man City last term, beating them 1-0 at Emirates Stadium before playing out a tense 0-0 in the return fixture. In order to win the Premier League, the north Londoners may need to claim at least a point on Sunday afternoon, although three points would be the dream scenario.
