Mikel Arteta on Arsenal’s form:
I think performance-wise we’ve been better than results-wise, because late goals in the last two games cost us four points and it could have been a different situation. Today’s game is a different situation. We come in with a clear idea to try to win the game, and we will do that.
He’s been training for the last few days and he’s looking sharp and good, and I wanted to give opportunities for everybody. So let’s see how he does. 7.39pm GMT
Frank Lampard on losing to Newcastle:
The lads were down afterwards. I couldn’t complain about the effort, we had a long go at it, and it was a bit of sign of some of our season, particularly in home games, where we create a lot, we get in good areas and we don’t have that finishing touch, and then you get sucker-punched. But it’s important we see today as the game it is. It’s different - it’s
Arsenal, a
London derby, a big game for us, so that one now is in the back of our minds and we look forwards.
It’s something to work on. In terms of our home form we’re creating a lot and not converting a lot. So that’s something we’re working on a lot, so the players can get up the pitch and get into good areas, and then we need more killer instinct, or more composure or whatever it is. I hope to see it tonight, against a team that maybe will come out against us.
Mason’s played a lot, Kovacic has played a lot of big games for us this season. I think midfield it games like this is crucial. Can we control that area and get a grip of it, and then get our wingers into the game? We’ll see.
