Mikel Arteta addressed the challenges that he expects from the clash against Nottingham Forest.
The Tricky Trees are hovering above the relegation zone, but Premier League leaders **Arsenal**cannot expect to have an easy time on their trip to the City Ground as the battle with **Man City**continues.
“*Sean Dyche*is a top coach, really good at what he does. You can see straight away the fingerprints on the team, the way they play, the results that they got against some of the big teams as well, how difficult they constantly make it for you. He's so experienced in the league, so it's a very tough match.
“We know we can only focus on what we can do. When games are earlier, if you have the possibility to see them, you do it, if they are later, the same, nothing changes. But the only focus and the aim is to prepare for a very, very tough match. We have experienced that over there, and we have to win it.
“Winning away from home in the Premier League is extremely tough. They are a team that we have beaten over the last few years, and we have done a lot of things right to beat a good team. With Sean, they are different, efficient in what they do, clear identity and that’s what makes them very dangerous.
“You want to win, the hunger to win as well and the motivation and the drive to do that is incredible as well. So, every team will handle the emotional part in their way, we have to focus on what we do.
*“Belief comes from performances, and the level of consistency that we have shown through our 32 games already this season, and what we did the other day at Stamford Bridge, it should help us to be very convinced that we have the ability to do that. The reality is that you have to show it in every game and there’s still so much to happen. We are glad that we are still alive in the four competitions.”*
