Mikel Arteta speaks to the media ahead of Arsenal’s clash against Wolves, giving an update on the fitness of Declan Rice, William Saliba, Jurrien Timber and Leandro Trossard.
-TIMESTAMPS-
00:00 – Intro.
00:23 – Saliba: matter of days.
00:49 – timber: depends how he feels. It’s a knock that he picked up. A matter of days.
01:20 – Rice: let’s see how it is today. It’s an illness so let’s see how far he can push.
01:39 – Trossard: matter of days.
02:01 – momentum: we’ve put ourselves in a good position in the champions league. Now for wolves.
02:40 – Wolves: definitely. I know the manager really well and how he’s going to push the players.
03:06 – have to beat Wolves?: You have to get over 90 points, we have three points tomorrow we need to earn.
03:51 – 7th in form table: hopefully tomorrow it changes. Last one games we’d be the best!
04:23 – Super computer to win the league?: the last five games? Since the start? Until the end? The only thing we can do is increase the probability to win.
05:16 – complacency: Talking about Villa, understanding the team reacting. It’s not going to happen.
05:50 – Open play goals: this is football, it has waves and you have a small sample size. 40 game isn’t enough as well. We score with different players and different manners.
06:30 – Jesus: a player of his quality that gives us so much. He’s pushing.
07:10 – enough credit this season?: that’s not for me to judge. We’re in a strong position in all three competitions. The credit comes at the end of the season. We’re in a strong position.
07:50 – Norgaard: I think that’s comes down to the mentality of the players and the intelligence of a player like Christian. We have a lot of examples of players who play in other positions. It gives us an edge.
08:33 – Enjoying this season: the lack of pressure? I enjoy it a lot because of the people that are around us. Winning helps and I feel privileged.
09:20 – Quadruple on?: Three points for tomorrow, that’s all on my mind.
09:53 – adapting to Gyokeres: two things have to emerge. Put the player in the best condition and the manner of how we play needs to be fulfilled. Before the injury he was in a great place. The goals will come.
10:49 – rare week off: three things. Make sure to rest players, then start to reactivate everybody and start to be in best mindset to beat Everton.
11:19 – No injuries Wednesday?: No.
11:32 – Saliba frustration: it was something quite small, it came from an ankle injury and he started to overload. It looks better but we need to see.
12:14 – consider selling Jesus?: No. Gabby has a lot to offer the team. He’s done so much to be in this position again.
12:55 – Nwaneri: in the manner other players have to cope the same way, his attitude has been excellent. Proving I’m wrong.
13:16 – Ethan attitude is exceptional, when we have a day off he wants to train.
13:51 – Zubimendi: very impressed. I know the difficulty of coming into this league and performing straight away. His defending metrics are incredible.
15:03 – did you think he would need time to adapt: Yes, but I think the fact he couple prepare for a longer period because he knew he was coming here helped.
15:46 – Gyokeres back to form?: probably to unlock it is goals. He needs that. He’s in a good place. Now to convert chances.
16:22 – City back to best?: We know the situation with other clubs. The focus has to be on us.
16:55 – Arsenal in community: remarkable and amazing. No one could imagine where we’d be in 40 years. The impact in our community is exceptional.

72 per cent chance of Arsenal winning the Premier League this year💪🏻
Can they finally do it?
matter of days FC
Which chance is he getting?? Arteta, he's not getting those chances
Are those people typing in the background? I need to see that! 😮
Let’s see how training goes 😂😂 😂😂 these journalist won’t learn 😊
@8:29 the luck of pressure part and our couch reaction is a bit delightful.
Calling him 'Arteta' to his face 😣
For me Gyokeres lucks the final pass. Odegaard needs to play like Cesc Fabregas, thanks to Cesc Van Parsie and Adibayor were better strickers. Mostly the wingers also try to throw the ball to net, but would have bn better to look their number 9, like Eze did w Leeds utd.
Why do reporters even waste time to ask Arteta about injury updates??
It's hill Dickson not goodison park
Who is this reporter circa 5 minute mark who keeps addressing him like his first name is “Arteta”? Sounds so dumb.
What's about Havertz? When will he be ready?
God don’t these journalists ask some stupid fucking questions
Arteta is a terrible liar Saliba was a knock and it’s been two weeks
Shows how garbage the medical team is manager seems ill informed on the actual status of
"Do you have to beat Wolves"
What a c.
"Last week you said you have to beat wolves, so does that mean you're not going to win the league now"
So weird when a journalist just plain and simple calls him “Arteta”. Usually everyone just says “Mikel” yes? General conduct dictates the usage of a “Mr.” before regarding someone with their surname.
Arsenal in great position. Obviously top but also because played all the top teams away already apart from city
AGANIST EVERTON IS NOT EASY GAME
Arteta can not win dint play our young players too much then it’s the young players are not getting enough minutes it’s a long season lots of games to go last season MLS playing to much this season not playing enough the media just want to stir things up it’s now a squad game
Just my humble opinion
COYG
Very big for us. Great players back at the right time. Wow now we stronger.
So basically Trossard,Saliba,Rice and Timber will all be available for the Everton game.Tomorrow we should win anyway.Give them more rest.
Great question by Tom Canton.
These guys should just ask better questions 🙄. Injuries are always a matter of days😅
Gyokeres is not challenging Haaland or is it Arsenal wants to destroy his reputation?
Good journalism has gone. Now it’s loaded questions, disrespect and open bias to prop up the anti-Arsenal click bait.
I hope he doesn't rush Saliba and Timber back and can permit Rice to rest some more.
The squad depth is good enough to get past Wolves. Everton away would be a bit more tricky.
Arteta please tell the players(Odegard,saka,martinelli) to pass the ball to gyokeres when they can
Can we get the supercomputer to back up big Gabby? If do, maybe we win.
Arsenal babi❤
Such poor questions from these reporters
That first interviewer was having an off day. There are many who would do it with enthusiam. He was so poor!
The team that played on Wednesday can easily play and win with a high tally of goals, leave those guys for Evaton
Journalism…… fading.
does journalist at 5:00 realize his name is Mikel (not Arteta) lmao
and again at 6:37
Save saliba timber rice for Everton away 💯🔴👌
Talksport reporter is the 🫎 moose he’s a West Ham fan 😩
I believe the gunners are going to win 🏆 all of the trophies 🏆 this season God willing 🙏🏽. COYG to thrash Wolverhampton Wanderers God willing 🙏🏽. Arsenal rocks 🪨.
Mikel 🔥🔥🔥
Arsenal Fan show love to Hayterstv ❤❤❤❤. Always more View
The Football London journo at least asked some good questions, nice.

Got a feeling we have got a great Christmas 🎄⚽️💯🔴👏 save the injuries coming back got games coming fast 💪
The manager is so relaxed and happy during this press conference confidence is all around and I think that the players are just as same 👍🏽❤️
Some of these questions 🙈
That person typing at the front is the real hero, that persons typing skills are next level
And now you will see arsenal go on another 15 game unbeaten run COYG ❤❤❤❤
