But Mikel Arteta’s men were forced to dig deep against Brentford in their most recent Premier League encounter as they didn’t have it all their own way.

And the north London outfit will need a minimum of two goals again to progress when they face Porto as they currently lead the tie 1-0 courtesy of a Galeno stoppage-time strike in the first leg.
