Mikel Arteta is planning to hit back at Antonio Conte by ensuring Arsenal end the season above their bitter rivals.
Tottenham manager Conte told his opposite number to stop complaining and focus on his own team after the Gunners were thrashed 3-0 in Thursday's north London derby, which reignited the race for Champions League qualification.
The pair have been sniping since Arsenal managed to get their original January clash postponed due to a combination of injury and Covid absentees.
Now Arteta insists his players have already moved on from their derby defeat and has followed Conte's advice to the letter.
