"If you want to win the Premier League and big trophies, you have to go to these grounds and impose yourself and beat them," Mikel Arteta told a press conference ahead of Arsenal's visit to Man United.
"That’s the journey we are on and that’s for sure what we are going to try to do on Sunday.
"I started to have that feeling last season, when we started to be very consistent and very ambitious. I could see that the standards weren’t dropping day by day.
"Obviously the moment that you start to add other pieces to the puzzle and players start to have more experience, start to keep improving, you build some momentum. Around the club as well there is that sense that we can do it, that we are good enough to do it. It has been a journey."
Arsenal don't just have to beat Man United to make a statement: they really need these three points because there are not many games left in the season, and the Gunners have to be in a position to capitalise on an unlikely Man City slip.
