It’s something we have to show on the pitch against a team who made it difficult for us last season, we have to prove we are the better team today. We need to go every three days, we know that will happen before the World Cup and after the World Cup, they need to be ready to do that." With just the two in the middle, this could be where Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard have the most joy. It seems as though the substitution of Takehiro Tomiyasu against PSV was indeed the sign that he would be starting against Southampton. The way of defending must be committed against a very good side that has good quality. It’s the dressing room, the away dressing room, they’ll be going out thinking they will win it, should win it. But if there was a place you could get success it would be against this man [Gabriel], gave a goal away against Fulham, penalty against Tottenham, against Liverpool he looked shaky and he can be rash, tries to win every ball. A sentence we might not have thought possible to use to describe Granit Xhaka at one stage. Jesus has had the best chances of the game but his five-game streak without a goal could reach six.

“But still nobody has a crystal clear ball. The gym is very important but what happens in your brain is more important. We need to go every three days, we know that will happen before the World Cup and after the World Cup, they need to be ready to do that. Since then the product of Arsenal’s hailed Hale End academy has recovered in a manner many would never have predicted, ending last season as the club’s top goalscorer. Saka has started all of those matches, providing four goals and four assists. It’s something we have to show on the pitch against a team who made it difficult for us last season, we have to prove we are the better team today. The way of defending must be committed against a very good side that has good quality. There’s a consistency collectively to maintain our form. Losing possession easily, Arsenal's pressure is paying dividends. There is no end to what this man cannot do and props to Ben White too. A half-volley with his right foot, attacking a low cross from the overlapping right-back. These are the patterns of play that Arteta has drilled into his team.
