Xhaka - FC Zurich deserve our respect

Granit Xhaka has stressed that we have to treat FC Zurich the same way we would a Premier League opponent ahead of tonight’s Europa League game.

With a strong squad travelling over to Switzerland, Mikel Arteta is leaving nothing to chance as we aim to get our group stage campaign off to the perfect start with a victory in St Gallen.

And as captain of the Swiss national team, Granit is encouraging his teammates not to take the reigning domestic champions lightly to ensure we get back to winning ways following last weekend’s defeat to Manchester United.
