The match is set to be intense, with both teams having scored late winners in their previous games. Arsenal defeated Newcastle United, while Olympiacos secured a win at Levadiakos. This will be a challenging match for both teams, especially considering Arsenal's impressive home record in European competitions.

Arsenal has won their last 13 home games in the group stage and league phase of European competitions, including 10 consecutive games without conceding a goal. The team will be confident heading into the match, which is expected to be an intense and competitive encounter.

Arsenal's William Saliba recently signed a new contract with the club, and manager Arteta expressed his happiness and admiration for the player's performance over the past few years.

Arteta praised Saliba's commitment to the team, stating that the player thoroughly deserves his new contract. He noted that the fact Saliba chose to stay with Arsenal over other clubs, including Real Madrid, demonstrates the power and appeal of the club.

The manager emphasized that the length of the contract is less important than the player's desire to stay with the team. He acknowledged that some players may have different priorities, such as playing in the Premier League or for a different club, but highlighted the special appeal of Arsenal as a destination for top players.

When asked about the pressure to win the Champions League, Arteta stated that the team's ambition remains the same: to perform well in each game and try to be better than their opponents. He acknowledged that the competition is intense, but emphasized the importance of home form in achieving their goals.

After their recent win against Newcastle, Arteta reported a positive atmosphere within the squad, with the team feeling energized and ready for the next challenge. He praised captain Martin Odegaard for his performance against Newcastle and expressed confidence in his ability to start in the upcoming match.

Odegaard's decision-making and approach to the game were highlighted as key factors in their win against Newcastle, and Arteta expects him to continue making a positive impact in the team.
