Mikel Arteta plans to field key Arsenal players in their last match before the Champions League semi-final against Crystal Palace, despite the limited incentive beyond pride. He believes consistent play leads to better performances and that injuries have impacted their domestic season. The rearranged match provides them with extra time to prepare for the crucial first leg against Paris Saint-Germain. Arteta acknowledges their Premier League struggles but remains focused on maximizing their remaining schedule, vowing not to rest players even with Liverpool on the verge of the title if Arsenal loses.
Arteta emphasized the importance of keeping his key players in the competitive play, stating, "They are at their best when they are playing and they have consistency in their performances."
Reflecting on his team's position, Arteta noted, "We are very clear about how we are doing in the Premier League with everything that happened."
With challenges this season, Arteta stated, "I don't think we have to make up for anything in the league with the injuries and ill fortune we have faced."
