The Gunners have been on a good run of form recently and remain unbeaten in 12 games.
“We will have to be at our best as usual because today there are no small teams in the Premier League, everyone makes it difficult if you are not up for it, so we will have to be motivated to beat them,” he said.
“It is noticeable that the ‘big four’ teams have lost a number of matches so far between them.
“In my opinion, that is better for the league because it means other teams are improving.
“Everyone is striving to be better and that is making it difficult for the top teams.”
“Maybe we are seeing teams throughout the division playing a little more football and trying to make passing combinations,” he added.
“We should never forget that people pay a lot of money to watch football and do not want to see players just kicking the ball up into the air.
“I know it is difficult to play one-twos and things like that, but you have to try your best to make the game attractive because people pay to see good football.”
