Arsenal boss Arteta: Now the focus on Porto

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says victory over Brentford is ideal preparation for Porto this week.

The Gunners will host the second-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie on Tuesday.

Arteta said: “The Premier League is done, we're not going to play a game for 19 days and now the full focus is on Porto.

“We can achieve something that we haven't done in 14 years [by reaching the last eight] so that's the challenge ahead of us.

“More of that support or better please on Tuesday against Porto because it will give us a great chance to go through."
