00:00Arsenal train at the London Colony on Monday ahead of the first leg of the UEFA Champions

00:07League quarter-final against the reigning champions Real Madrid.

00:11After making two substitute appearances, Bukayo Saka looks set to return to Mikel Ateta's

00:15starting line-up following a long lay-off.

00:18Obviously, as the players, we're ready and we're up for it, but I honestly have no doubts

00:24that the fans tomorrow, they're going to be up for it also, and they're going to help

00:28create the most beautiful night that the Emirates has witnessed.

00:33This marks Arsenal's second consecutive appearance in the Champions League quarter-finals, as

00:38they are unbeaten in their last ten home games in the competition with eight wins.

00:43Yeah, 100 per cent.

00:47I think just looking at our home record in the Champions League itself, I don't think

00:50we've lost a game in the last two seasons there, so I'm sure they know that and they

00:55need to be ready because we're pretty good at the Emirates.

00:58Arsenal go into the game on the back of a disappointing 1-1 draw at Ifetol on Saturday,

01:03but other results went their way and although Liverpool remain on the verge of securing

01:07Premier League title.
