What the managers said

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on facing Sunderland: "They are extremely competitive, really well coached, they have very good individuals, a very clear identity of what they want to do, where they want to take the game, and they are very good at it.

"You could obviously see the result they had against the top side, so we know what to expect, but we need to deliver that tomorrow."

Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris on facing Arsenal: "We have to show the best version of Sunderland with an underdog mindset. They are playing at a huge level. They are impressive in the Premier League, outstanding in the Champions League.

"They are probably one of the best teams in Europe at the minute, so it’s a tough challenge, but an exciting challenge.

“I think if we keep this mindset, we stay humble, we know that we have to be strong on our key pillars, otherwise the level is too high and you get punished really quickly."
