Arsenal take on Brentford later this afternoon, and much like last weekend against Everton, I feel like today’s team selection will be informed by what we have to do in midweek against Real Madrid. In typical fashion, Mikel Arteta spoke about how the job at hand was to take three points today, and when asked how he brings his players back down to earth from the high of Tuesday’s result and performance, he said:

It’s not about bringing them back.
