'My chest is here, hit me!' - Arteta ready to take 'bullets' for Arsenal stars

The Gunners boss was in defiant mood ahead of Wednesday night's Premier League meeting with Southampton

Mikel Arteta says he is ready to take "bullets" for his players and that he remains 100 per cent confident he is the man to turn things around at Arsenal.

Pressure has been growing on the Gunners boss following the club’s worst start to a league season since 1974 and four successive home defeats in the top flight.

Arsenal host Southampton on Wednesday night sitting 15th in the Premier League and just five points above the relegation zone.
