“Another really exciting game to play in front of our people against one of the toughest oppponents in our league,” Arteta said.
“It’s going to be a really demanding match that’s going to require us to be at our best again.”
He added: “Every game is the same. Obviously this is a big match.
“It’s a fixture that everbody is looking for against an opponent that has shown in the last five or six years the level that they have.
“We have to show against these opponents that we have raised the level and we are ready to compete against them.”
