Fulham vs Arsenal: What has been said?

Speaking after their home win against West Ham, Arsenal boss Arteta stressed the importance of rotating his side amid the fixture pile-up.

“Critical,” the Spaniard, who has now managed 300 games at the club, explained to the media.

“We’re playing every three days and with the intensity that we play and the requirements of the opposition, it’s impossible to maintain the same players.

“So the ones that are coming, they have to lift the level, the intensity and help us to win the game.

“We talked about many, many times and in this period especially, I think it’s been really, really positive.”
