Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta cannot wait to experience the intensity of the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
The Gunners are at the top of the Premier League by three points over Manchester City with a game in hand.
They now welcome City to their home on Wednesday, in a clash that could decide the league.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Arteta stated: We'll play with 15 players tomorrow! They are so into it with every single ball and giving us energy and support, and basically everything they have been doing. Let's enjoy it, a beautiful night on a really special day.
The atmosphere we are generating at the Emirates is incredible. The players are talking about it, and it makes it very special to be part of it."
On City, he said: What they have done in the last six years, they absolutely merit it - on the pitch and the way they play, the way they have competed and how they have gone through difficulties.
When I was working there, it was an incredible experience on a personal and professional level, to be with [Guardiola], all the coaching staff and the players at the time. Like every experience, it made me a better person, a better coach for sure. You use those experiences for your own career.
For us, the challenge is to get to that level and we need to use that challenge and that energy to say 'this is where we want to be.' That is the level, and we are heading towards it."
