Meeting Highlights…TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE BAN
I've given up on trying to figure it out. You get a punishment, you take it and in the end I'm too focussed on the team and the collective. I can't dwell on it too much and move on.
…LACK OF DEFENCE
I find it tough because I see the work they put in. They really try and they don't always get punished in the most obvious ways. I have to say to them that tomorrow is a new beginning.
…ARSENAL AND ARTETA
They're a top team. You need a few things to go your way and exceptional performances. These teams have always got tools to hurt you and we have to make the most of our moments. Arteta is passionate. I liked how he handled his first season with Arsenal and the complexities with that. He was working with a very young group and gradually growing and improving his team. He showed resilience and clarity.

Mikel Arteta
Manager on Arsenal…TEAM NEWS
Some of them are progressing better than others. We have another session today, I am positive we will get a few back for tomorrow. There's no big setbacks on any injuries. Eddie Nketiah is not ruled out and Fabio Vieira has been training for a few days and is very close to a return. Partey is progressing really well, looking really good and on the field already.
…TITLE RACE
We want to be there, that means we've done a lot of things right during the season. We have learnt a lot from last season, we want to go one step further and keep that consistency.
…VINCENT KOMPANY
We have huge respect for each other. When I worked with him, the way he conducted himself, he is special.
