'I want to win this season'

Arsenal captain on the night Bukayo Saka, speaking to Amazon Prime: "I won't be giving you any inside secrets [on set pieces] but we do work a lot, most days in training, on set pieces. For me and for the boys it is not a coincidence that we score from them every game."

On his confidence at the moment: "This season there is a lot of hunger in my belly. In previous years we have been runners up a lot so it is just that spirit in me that I want to win this season, that is where the confidence is coming from. I believe in myself and that is driving me forward."

On his defensive work rate: "All attacking players we are attack minded and want to go forward but the manager has emphasised a lot to us the need to do the other side of the game. I'm sure you can hear him on the touchline when we are out of possession!

"It does take a lot of sacrifice and discipline but it is what the team requires. When you see the results we have a lot of clean sheets and it shows that we are getting the rewards for that work."
