Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is preparing his team to face Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday and he was full of praise for Arne Slot.

The Gunners will be up against the league leaders who have made an impressive start to the season under Dutch manager Arne Slot.

When asked about one Liverpool quality that makes them special, the Spaniard said:
