What the managers say
Arteta: "The team has been competing really well in all different competitions and tomorrow we know that we have a really tough match here, they are unbeaten here at home all season. It's a team that are very used to playing together; they have a very clear philosophy, they create a massive atmosphere as well, so we know it's going to be a really tough match.
"[Clean sheets] are a huge platform to win games and the difficulty of that in this competition and when you’re playing away, even more so. Tomorrow, we know we’re going to face a really good challenge here and, in the team as well, they are very intense, very direct, very vertical and we're going to have to be really good to achieve what we want." -
Jindrich Trpisovsky: "We played a very demanding game on Saturday, one of the most demanding games of the whole season in terms of intensity. So we will see after the training what condition the players will be in. Some of them have played three games this week, so of course, it adds up.
"If I were to list everything that is dangerous about [Arsenal], we wouldn't make it to training. They're a mature team that controls games. It has tremendous technical quality, the players are big, strong, fast and also in top form right now. If, for example, Igoh Ogbu, our most dominant player in defensive situations, were available, it would be different. I have to say that Arsenal's standards are astounding. I've never seen anything like it. They have everything coming together - height, power, timing, head play and most importantly, that playmaking from Rice."
