Two goals from Declan Rice set the Platform for Arteta and his only focus is now on the Champions League with Liverpool that storms away to the Premier League title.

He was not expected to start in Madrid and the most important question after the game was aimed at Pedey that impressed as a coverage immediately.
Arteta hopes to have Ben White back for next week, or he will bring Jurrien Timber back in, with Pareny in midfield next to Rice.

“He [Partey] Had a problem, so we took it out, we didn't want to take any risks, “according to BBC Sport.
'He felt something, so we made a decision, we don't know [if he will be OK for Wednesday]. I haven't spoken to doctors yet. “
Arteta was planning to name an unchanged team from the first stage to the second, but as pareny fog, Mikel Merino was able to fall back to midfield with Leandro Trossard who started in attack.
