Ahead of our trip to Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday, Mikel Arteta feels that we’ll be taking on the best team in the world right now.
As we continue to go toe-to-toe with the reigning Premier League champions at the top of the table, the first encounter between the two this term will come in the cup at the Etihad Stadium, with the world relishing the long-awaited match-up.
Mikel is under no illusions of the size of the match, and indeed task at hand given the knockout aspect of the tie and a Premier League meeting on the horizon next month, but feels it is a challenge he is relishing.
