Manager keen for intimidating environment after faltering formZinchenko a doubt for third round FA Cup tie against Liverpool
Mikel Arteta has demanded Arsenal fans ramp up the hostility for visitors to the Emirates over the second half of this season, starting with an FA Cup third round tie against Liverpool on Sunday that takes on added significance because of faltering league form.
The atmosphere at Arsenal’s home was hailed as a contributing factor to their performances in 2022-23, which was characterised by a series of intense and relentless displays. It has sagged in recent months, though, and was noticeably flat in last week’s 2-0 reverse to West Ham. Arsenal need a lift after three top-flight defeats in five and Arteta wants opponents to feel ground down by the stadium’s energy.
