Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is focused on current preparation, not past successes, as his team prepares to face Chelsea on Sunday. Despite a strong recent record against their London rivals, including two League Cup semi-final wins and a consistent unbeaten streak since 2021, Arteta stressed the irrelevance of previous encounters.
"What you have done two weeks or two years ago is irrelevant because every game and every context is different," Arteta told reporters. He highlighted Chelsea's adaptability under manager Liam Rosenior, who is enjoying a six-match unbeaten league run, and emphasized Arsenal's readiness for various scenarios.
When questioned about the possibility of Arsenal achieving a quadruple this season, Arteta remained grounded. "Has it been done? That is how difficult it is," he stated, advocating for a game-by-game approach to success in all competitions.
