Mikel Arteta praised Riccardo Calafiori after the summer signing made an impressive cameo appearance as a second half substitute against Atalanta. The Italy international has had to bide his time for opportunities since his arrival from Bologna in the summer and missed the north London derby as a result of the calf injury he picked up playing for his country a fortnight ago.

Mikel Arteta has told Arsenal's players that they are going to Manchester City this Sunday to win, according to Declan Rice. The two Premier League title contenders played out a cagey goalless draw back in March, but Rice has suggested that the Gunners will attack the reigning champions with a different game plan this time around.
