Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta spoke ahead of his team's Premier League matchday 19 game against Aston Villa.
Idman.Biz reports that the match will take place on December 30 in London.
"We have a really tough game ahead of us. We know their level. They've earned this place. Look at what they're doing, how consistently they're performing and what Unai Emery has achieved with the club. I think they deserve that praise. We'll review the footage. I have some ideas and comments about what we need to improve. The defeat was pretty brutal, but we'll learn from it. If we use that motivation and that anger in the right way, then everything will definitely work out," Arteta told the club's official website.
After 18 games played in the English Premier League this season, London's Arsenal team leads the tournament table with 42 points. Manchester City (40 points) and Aston Villa (39 points) are also in the top 3.
