Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta appeared in a press conference to talk about tomorrow's match against Nottingham Forest in the 22nd round of the English Premier League.

The coach began his talk about the dispute between Declan Rice and his assistant Albert Stuivenberg in the tunnel during the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final: "Everything has been resolved, things are fine. The good thing is that by the time I found out what happened, the dispute had already ended, and that is very positive."

Regarding Ethan Nwaneri and the possibility of his participation: "Everyone has a chance to play. We have to see who will participate. We have some restrictions, especially in the league, concerning the number of players we can include in the squad, but everyone is in the competition circle."

He added about playing Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus together against Chelsea: "Spaces were opening up, and we needed a player to reach the penalty area. We have different harmonies, and the players are capable of exchanging positions in some upcoming matches, and with our anticipation of certain opponent patterns, having these options will be interesting."

On the offside rules and whether he is satisfied with them: "Satisfaction depends on the situation you face. I speak honestly. I know they are trying in every way to simplify things and find as much clarity as possible, but the decision is still very difficult. Moreover, there may be a potential new law coming, and we will not have a say in it. They are constantly trying to develop the game and make it more consistent and clear, they are studying the options, will decide, and we have to adapt."

He continued about Zubimendi: "I am very happy with how he adapted to the club. When you talk to any member of the technical staff or players about him, you see a big smile and very positive words. He earned everyone's respect here very quickly, as well as the fans' respect. He is very humble, very focused, and has amazing consistency in performance. On top of that, he surprised some with his ability to enter the penalty area offensively."

Regarding Thomas Tuchel's statements about the importance of players' social skills: "I fully agree with Thomas. This is very essential and often underestimated. There are players whose impact may not be significant in terms of minutes, but their influence inside the team and around it, and their ability to gather the group and create a supportive atmosphere, is crucial in my opinion."

About the many away matches: "In some aspects, yes. When studying opponents and trying to train on certain things we want to apply, we want to plan, but sometimes that is impossible and we have to deal with one match at a time. Now we have a larger number of returning players and better options, and this is very beneficial. We are giving playing minutes to most players."

The coach added about the team's defensive record: "We achieved that through a high level of organization, but the most important thing is the desire the players show daily and the commitment to perform all the necessary duties to be a team that is difficult to play against and score on. We are building very good momentum. The belief comes from performance and the level of consistency we have shown this season. What we presented at Stamford Bridge should make us fully convinced of our abilities, but the reality is that you have to prove that in every match. We are very happy that we are still competitive in all four competitions."

About tomorrow's match: "Winning away in the English Premier League is extremely difficult. They are a team that has done many things right over the past years to build a strong team. They have shown that they are different, very effective in what they do, and have a clear identity, which makes them dangerous. Sean Dyche is a top-class coach, very excellent in his work. You can see his clear imprint on the team in the way they play and the results they have achieved against some big teams. It will be another tough match."

On whether he will watch the Manchester derby: "We can only focus on what we can do. If the match is before or after, you might get a chance to watch it, but our only focus is preparing for a very tough match, and we have to win it."

He added in his talk about Victor Giokeris: "He is a very demanding person. He knows the level we want and wants to reach it. He has been very consistent. He played a great match against Chelsea and scored to help us win. What he has done over the past years set a clear standard, and it is a standard we expect him to maintain. These expectations are not only for Victor but for all number 9 strikers in the league. We expect a high level and consistency, and that is what he must strive to achieve."

He concluded about the injury situation: "I need to meet with the medical staff and conduct the training session to know if any player will be available at the end of the week."
