Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta feels his squad is very compared to the last time they visited West Ham.
While talking to the media, Arteta said he hoped the side had ‘improved a lot’ since that dramatic 3-3 draw last season.
“Especially what we did in the first 20 or 30 minutes,” he said.
“We put ourselves in a really difficult position. It’s true that we reacted phenomenally well, but we want to start the game in a different way.”
“We have very different players in the squad and we have a very different environment.
“I think the unity that exists right now between the team, the staff, our supporters and externally is completely different and is very, very beneficial for the team.
“Obviously, how the team has evolved in its understanding of what we want to do is much better.
“The execution of it is much better, the consistency of results is better and what we’re trying to do is seek for improvement every single day and probably what we did a year ago is what you see now.”
Arsenal are a strong contender to finish in the top four this season. If they drop points, Tottenham might take place at fourth.
