<h3>Press conference notes</h3>
<p>Mikel Arteta told reporters:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I think Mikel [Merino] is going to start to train with the group tomorrow [Friday]. Today he has done a little bit; it was just a light session.</p>
<p>"Jurrien [Timber], let’s hope he can do the same in the next few days but he’s still a little bit further behind Mikel at the moment."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>On facing Palace with the league title already in the bag, Arteta commented:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Tomorrow and Saturday, we’re going to prepare really well because we need to now lift again our habits and the standards that we normally do things, to be in the best possible way to compete on Sunday."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>That leaves us in the dark on how much rotation could occur for the Gunners.</p>
