Neville speaking on Sky Sports: “Last season they came here and defended brilliantly and we feel like they’re set up to do that again today. [Thomas] Partey and Declan Rice are so important in making sure they have that shield in front of the back four. But then you need that bit of ruthlessness on the break.”

The Arsenal manager told Sky Sports: “Ready. And we know we are full prepared and looking forward to it. It’s a demanding but an exciting week and we have to enjoy it.

“You have a game plan ready then the opponent does certain things to allow you to play in certain areas that you want, or not. What we do with the ball is very important as well.

“You have to travel together with the ball, be better, be closer to each other, be better in counter press, be better at high press, be dominant in the areas you want and you can create threat to the opposition.

“It was a little bit forced [to drop Ben White and start Riccardo Calafiori], but we are ok. We’ve done it with different players but we have full belief in the players we have. It gives us something different.”

“We are at home, we’ve talked a little bit about some aspects: good transitions, occupying the spaces. Last season we didn’t do that and we will see. They’re not just incredible defensively, they make incredible high pressing, it’s so aggressive.

“[We haven’t just learned] from the two games against Arsenal – all the teams that play in a low block. As much as you play against those opponents, you learn what you have to do.

“What happened in the past [against Arsenal], it’s always an opportunity.

“I think its not a big, big one but [De Bruyne] was not available for today.”

And now here’s a look at the fans arriving at the ground:
