Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang must earn his place in the team.

The Gunners skipper was dropped for last Sunday's north London derby win after breaching pre-match protocols.

While Arteta says there is no problems with his star striker, he isn't guaranteed a spot back in his side.

Asked whether the Gabon international will come straight back into his team, the Spaniard responded: "No, everybody has to obviously perform at the highest level to earn his place in the team and there is no exceptions there.

"We will try to put out a really competitive team to try and win the game."
