Mikel Arteta says Aubameyang has only had one day’s training since returning from wherever-he-was so wasn’t ready to start, while Martin Odegaard “hasn’t been here long enough and needs a little bit more time”.
We know they are a team that gets good results against the top teams. We want to maintain our form in the
Premier League. There’s a balance, we’re really efficient going forward and really solid defending our own goal and when that happens, you pick up a lot of points. You need some experience, but you need some youth, a different energy. To get that balance is not easy and now we’ve got it. 5.39pm GMT
Nuno Espirito Santo says he’ll be playing with a back four, for avoidance of doubt. He’s asked about the clear-the-air meeting his squad had in the build-up to this game:
