Mike Jackson’s pre-match comments

“You look at a game like this and you look at the importance of it to everyone in the competition, we know what we're talking about.

“But I think from our point of view, I think you've got to look at it as an opportunity as well to 1) be involved in a game like that and 2) to be really excited about it.

“It's a platform to then go and perform. We can't influence everything that's going on around it and all the noise about these games coming up. But what we can do is make sure, like we did against Villa, we proved last week that we were still taking the competition really seriously and that's what we'll do.”

Arsenal: Raya, Mosquera, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Lewis-Skelly, Rice, Saka, Eze, Trossard, Gyokeres
