"We are so used to that rhythm every three days that the boys are demanding and then we don't have a game on the weekend. We have a gap there, so let's see how we get there on Wednesday."

On the performance against Ipswich, Arteta said: "We're really happy with the performance. I think the first 35 minutes is one of the best 35 minutes we've played this season, at the back of the game in Madrid, and we scored two goals.

"We could have scored three or four to be fair. We really dominated the game, very high intensity and understanding what we had to do today to win here.

"When they got the red card, the context of the game changed and we were in control, scored another two goals and made certain rotations. So overall a very positive afternoon."
