“When I was at the Emirates and there was no crowd, you cannot feel that energy, push or drive.”
Arteta’s side will feature in the second game of the Premier League relaunch when they face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, just hours after the opener between Aston Villa and Sheffield United.
He believes it will be hard for some players to display their usual intensity because they will not have the energy of a full stadium to feed off. “We try to make the best of it. Don’t try to make any excuses, go for it and enjoy because I think we are all missing football so much,” he said. Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder and Aston Villa boss Dean Smith said they were aware the eyes of the world would be on their match at Villa Park.
