Regarding the game against the Gunners, Pochettino said: “This game is not a strong statement. We want to win because we want to move up the table and we want to be higher. When we are all at a high level and playing in the style we want, then it will be like, ‘OK, we will play against Arsenal, we will play against Manchester City and we will beat you.’ ‘But in the situation we need more points, but I don’t think a win against Arsenal would be a strong statement.”

“In this situation, it is important to compete in this way, to try to solve the problem and find a way. It will be a difficult game against Arsenal, but I don’t think it will be a statement from Chelsea like ‘watch out, Chelsea are coming’ or something like that.”
