Meeting Highlights...AVAILABILTY
Yeah, we have discussed that and pushing each other and being available to contribute in any way to help us win the game and perform consistently at the level that we need to so we're going to need everybody.
...PREPARATION
We're going to be needing even more. It's after two and a half days. Luton are in a really good moment - when you see the games that they have played and even when they haven't won, they've been really tough. We have had some extraordinary results against the other two teams that are, at the moment, leading the table. We are not top so that means that we have missed certain points somewhere else and that's what we have to put the emphasis on now tomorrow.
...TOO MANY CHANGES
That’s a good question. We are always wondering about that and it’s just changing certain personnel in certain moments and those relationships [between the players]. How long they have played together, how much time they have spent together, that can affect it as well – that’s related to what they do in training every single day. We’ll look at all these things and will try to find the right team to win.

Manager on Luton Town...AVAILABILTY
Three players who picked up injuries during the defeat at Tottenham haven't trained yet. If they were ready, then I would pick them. If they are not, then I won't be able to. If they are not, we will see if we can turn them around for Saturday. This is the most difficult and challenging period I have ever faced.
...PREPARATION
Their defence is pretty stubborn, they don't give much away. It was a pretty unique game before, as sometimes it can be at Kenilworth Road. They are in great form, especially since the break around January time. If I'm speaking honestly, to be competing the way we did on Saturday, against another top team like Tottenham with the challenge that we are facing - we are doing pretty well.
...ARSENAL
They are so good with the ball that they are going to force us low. We are going to have to defend really, really well. We can do a lot of work on that and we will see. We are aware that Luton have another big game on Saturday. We aren't really going to have anyone else that we don't have tomorrow, so that wouldn't make any difference.
