"Should Mikel Arteta be worried? I do not think so," he said on the Planet Premier League podcast. "I think he understands the importance of the start of the season, but understands the importance more so of how they finish it. "The disappointment after losing to Bournemouth will be big, but the really good sides, players and managers - I always fancy them after a defeat. "The fact they will face a test against Liverpool, and weirdly at home they will feel possibly a bit like an underdog - I think that suits who they want to be at this moment.
