Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin is enjoying his first team chance this season.
Bellerin is being preferred ahead of Mathieu Debuchy.
"A lot of people talk about that second season stuff but what plays in your favour is that I played 28 games last season," he told the Arsenal matchday programme.
"I'm confident, I know that I can play and you know that all the experiences always play in your favour. You've got both sides of it - people saying that other teams know what you play like and know how to stop you, but you've got the confidence and the experience.
"I'm finding it very good and I'm very happy that the boss is giving me as many opportunities as last year and that I'm playing the minutes I want."
