Mikel Arteta confirms Ben White, Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice are fit to face Brighton in the Carabao Cup, but says William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli are out.
-TIMESTAMPS-
00:00 - Intro.
00:08 - Saliba: out
00:23 - Rice and Calafiori: both fit.
00:30 - Martinelli: Out.
00:40 - Saka: Fine.
00:55 - Brighton and Welbeck: remarkable what he's doing, as well as the team. The work they've done is incredible. Difficult to beat them.
01:48 - Changes: relaxing is football is impossible. We'll manage the load with short recovery times. We'll remain competitive.
02:22 - Prem favourites: when we're competing at the highest level, you have to install that feeling. We're in a good position but we know how early it is.
03:10 - Set pieces, trend setter?: People will pick things we do, we do that with other teams. If it's a way to help win games by all means.
03:46 - more from fans?: We always want more. It was a great atmosphere to play football. We'll be better and stronger.
04:25 - Gyokeres hard to rotate?: more difficulty in the frontlines. That's the area we have to be more careful with because we haven't got many options.
05:04 - carabao cup importance: today the most important one. We haven't won for many years. We have to plan a great game and show it on the pitch.
05:34 - Ben White: He had a setback. That hasn't helped but in preseason he was our best player. Ben at his level is a top player.
06:10 - White for England?: Still a lot of months to go. Football can change, it Thomas believes Ben's the right player then he will have lots of opportunities.
07:00 - Shots at goal: We discussed the other day between the close relationship of clean sheets and winning trophies. We need to continue doing that.
07:48 - Xhaka quote: probably is true. We make a lot of noise, good or bad but people take notice of us.
08:28 - Hincapie: He's going to bring such intensity, physicality and emotion. We need to get him up to speed, he'll raise the level.
09:18 - Nwaneri: The context of bukayo's injury and no replacements opened the opportunity for him. Now he's more settled and mature his biggest threat is the middle.
10:17 - kepa, Raya number 1?: I never tell any player that. They have to earn it. Kepa comes here every day and trains like it's the most important session.
11:09 - Raya form down to Kepa?: The environment goalkeepers create is unique. Kepa has raised the level for everyone to shine.
11:45 - substituting goalkeepers?: I don't know maybe someone will do it.
12:20 - White's setback: Injury for weeks and we've managed his load. He's training and will have minutes to play.
12:54 - white surgery should've been sooner?: one for the medical team. Ben will play anything. That injury didn't allow him to have that consistency.
