Mikel Arteta believes our winter break to Dubai will help rejuvenate our squad after a "tough" few months.

We fly off this week and, speaking after our 0-0 draw with Burnley, our head coach says he expects it to have a positive influence.

"It's good to go away," Arteta told Arsenal Player. "The players have been through a lot.
