Mikel Arteta is ready for the 'different experience' of watching his Arsenal side from the biggest room in his house on New Year's Day as he isolates following a second positive Covid-19 test.
The Gunners host Premier League leaders Manchester City in Saturday's early kick-off, but assistant coach Albert Stuivenberg will be in charge as Arteta is limited to a watching brief.
Arteta tested positive on Wednesday and a number of his coaching staff have also been struck down with Covid, with the Spaniard admitting he is still unclear who will be on the bench for Arsenal.
