Rosenior once tasted defeat when he coached Chelsea. This bad result was obtained against Arsenal in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final.
“We don’t know (what kind of approach to the game) – I mean, they have done various things, and they can change them throughout the match,” said Arteta as quoted on Arsenal’s official website.
“They have players and a manager who are very comfortable doing that – so we are ready. We will prepare for possible scenarios that we can face throughout the game, and try to do better,” he stressed.
Arsenal is at the top of the standings with 61 points from 28 matches. The London Cannon is five points ahead of Manchester City, who have only appeared 27 times.
