Arteta played against the 2003/04 “Invincibles”, managed by Arsene Wenger, in 2005. He said that he wants his side to be similarly feared by opponents. “I’ve been in the tunnel playing in a different shirt and looking at the Invincibles”, said the manager on Friday (5).
“You had a feeling ‘tonight is going to be really tough’. Hopefully we can create that”, added Arteta. The manager also spoke about Bukayo Saka, who sustained an injury and missed Wednesday’s (3) 2-0 win over Luton.
“I’m super positive. I think he’s going to fly and be so decisive. He’s so strong, how much he wants it. How excited he is about what is coming. He wants to be there, and he’s getting better and better”, said Arteta.
