Image source, Getty ImagesMikel Arteta is expecting “a big atmosphere” at Emirates Stadium tonight as he sets his sights on winning a second silverware of his five-year reign at Arsenal.
The Spaniard won his first and, so far, only major silverware as Arsenal boss when they overcame Chelsea to lift the FA Cup in 2020.
“I’m very positive that we’re going to create a big atmosphere against a really good opposition in the semi-final of the cup that we want to win, so let’s go for it,” Arteta said ahead of the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg clash against Newcastle United.
“We’re very excited to play the game in front of our crowd. It’s a semi-final and an opportunity to earn the right to be in a final and that starts with two legs.
“Obviously they’re going to be two long games against a very competitive team, we know that, but very excited and we need a big, big atmosphere in our stadium.”
