Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has issued a rallying cry for Gooners ahead of the London derby with West Ham tonight, Thursday (December 28).

Premier League football returns to the Emirates for the last time in 2023 as David Moyes brings his Hammers to North London for the 815pm kick-off.

The Gunners are aiming to return to the top of the table following Liverpool’s 2-0 win at Burnley on Tuesday.

Arteta has sent a message to supporters attending the game. 

“First of all, thank-you for everything that you’ve done throughout the year and the way you’ve supported and inspired the team,” the Arsenal boss said.

“Please go to the stadium and get it rocking.

"Get behind the team, inspire them again and the team is going to try to do everything that we can.

“It’s going to be the last game of the year in front of you, so it’s a special moment, so let’s make it beautiful.”
