Mikel Arteta calls for his side to be equipped 'physically' and 'in the head' for Brentford clash

Mikel Arteta believes his Arsenal players need to be ‘physically equipped’ to be competitive in the Premier League.

Following their bright start of five wins from six games, Arsenal will return to the top of the table if they win at in-form Brentford on Sunday.

‘You have to be equipped physically in this league,’ Arteta said. ‘You have to be very equipped in the head as well, because if you have to be physical, you might not read the situation and be too late. It’s a balance you need.
