With a 1-0 win over Premier League champions Manchester City in their last game, Arsenal take on Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The Gunners are currently second in the table, level on points with top-placed Tottenham in north London.

Moreover, while Pochettino endured a difficult start to his Chelsea career, his side have recovered slightly in recent weeks, winning three games in a row in all competitions. .

Ahead of the game, Arteta was full of praise for his Chelsea counterpart, adding that Pochettino had given him some wise advice before embarking on his managerial career. Arteta told the press:

"Pochetinno warned me not to coach. It's too hard. I knew he was going to be a coach. I followed him closely. As a player, he has leadership. I used to have him waiting to help from behind and he always coached me.

We lived together in a hotel for 3 months. It is very important. He is one of the most influential people in my football career. He grabbed me by the arm and took care of me like a brother. ”
