Arteta on red cards and improving our discipline

The mid-season break has been a chance to reset and re-energise our squad - and one of the key messages Mikel Arteta has been discussing with his squad is the importance of discipline.

We've had a player sent off in three of our last five matches, and the manager accepts that it is a record we must improve if we're going to finish in the top four.

"We played three games out of five with 10 men, and if that’s one of the things in the last 17 games that we continue to do, our chances to be where we are going to be really low," Arteta said.
