"Arsenal are good at everything. They're a good team. It's not about taking the game back in time. You have to manage your 1% to be as good a team and win as many different ways as possible. I respect them. I think they'll respect us because we're a good team as well. I don't know who's calling them Set-Piece FC. I'm definitely not."
"They're a team who are very good without the ball. They have a really, really clear idea in the way they want to play with the ball. And on top of that, they're very well organised with good delivery on set plays. That's what you want to be if you want to be successful. Mikel has done an incredible job. He has had time to build. They are very good with organisation in all aspects of the game. He has done really well there."
Arsenal have scored the most goals from set-pieces across Europe's top-five leagues this season and added three in a 4-1 FA Cup win at Portsmouth. The team combines strong organisation without the ball with a clear idea in possession and effective set-piece delivery. Mikel Arteta has managed the club for over six years and has won one major trophy, the 2020 FA Cup. Patience with Arteta has allowed time to build and improved organisation in all aspects of the game. Chelsea began a new managerial era with a 5-1 victory at Charlton. The clubs meet in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg.
