The Gunners now head to Atalanta to kick off their European campaign before Sunday’s vital trip to Premier League champions City.Arsenal’s daunting schedule was made trickier by the absence against Tottenham of key midfielders Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard due to suspension and injury, respectively.
However, Italian veteran Jorginho believes a positive performance and result at Atalanta will pave the way for more of the same against City. “We are doing that and we keep working hard to improve and doing right the things. We are on the right path and we need to keep it going.”Already two points behind leaders City, Arteta’s men cannot afford a defeat in Manchester and will not want to open the revamped Champions League with a loss.The triumph at Tottenham was Arsenal’s 10th win in 11 away league games, with their only draw coming at City in March.
