' Arteta added, 'Let’s see how he reacts tomorrow, how he absorbs the load.
The team has lost 15 league games this season, with only the bottom four having lost more.
Especially at home, since I've been at the club, we have been a real force. We have been tough to beat. We have been feared. I just feel we have come away from that a little bit. I don't know why. I'm not going to stand here and make excuses.
Eddie Howe stated, 'We've got a lot to do.
We've got challenges from different sides, on the pitch, off the pitch.
