I don’t think it’s the right moment to talk about that.”When asked for his thoughts on the Gunners’ dropping seven points in their last three games, he added: “Today, the efficiency we had in the last 20 metres wasn’t good enough. We know that.”To come to Old Trafford and do what we did was superb.”But you have to capitalise and today we didn’t and then we have to overturn a result and you know how difficult that is here.”Arsenal will be back in action on Wednesday night, welcoming PSV to the Emirates for the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie.

The eyes will be on opposite flank with Ousmane Dembele after way he performed and also got double at weekend, so that could well play into his hands too.Vitinha 1+ shot on target: Talented midfielder has had 0.46 shots on target per 90 minutes in Champions League. But a driving force in middle of the pitch, no surprise to see him dictate matters in Liverpool’s half and if they have even half of the 27 shots taken last week, he could well be one of those to make Alisson work.Andy Robertson to be carded: Up against Ousmane Dembele and Achraf Hakimi which is no walk in the park. Will need a big performance defensively with his place spoken about as being under threat.Over 9.5 corners: PSG themselves registered 14 of the 16 corners last week.
