Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is impressed with the new-found form of Fabio Vieira.

The attacking midfielder struggled to impose himself on the team last season.

However, he is now in his second season in the Premier League and looks settled, and is gaining more playing time under Arteta.

The Spaniard told reporters: That was my fault [Vieira taking long to settle]. I said that many times, I haven't played him enough.

He hasn't had enough room in the team with the competitions that we play to participate more, but we see every day the talent he has got and what he can bring to the team. I was really happy with his performance at the weekend."

He added on the juggling act of rotation this season: To be happy they have to play and they have to feel important, valued and that we trust them. It is the only way to do it. I will try to do that in the best possible way and maximise their performance."
