Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of Arsenal's mouthwatering Premier League showdown this weekend. The Gunners face familiar foes Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium this weekend.
Arteta's side head into the match with plenty of confidence, following their morale-boosting 2-0 midweek win at Athletic Club in the Champions League opener. Manchester City managed to win by the scoreline against Napoli on Thursday night.
But it is Arsenal who have enjoyed a better start to the Premier League season, sitting three points above Pep Guardiola's side. Arteta and his players know a win this weekend will send a huge title message to their rivals including Liverpool, who face Merseyside rivals Everton tomorrow.
The manager is expected to provide an update on the status of the players who are a concern and on the breaking news that Tim Lewis is leaving the club in a decision that has come out of nowhere. You can hear everything Arteta has to say on all that and much more from football.london's Arsenal reporter, Tom Canton, in our live blog below.
