"The players need to actually use this platform against Arsenal to create an improvement benchmark," Saha told The Mirror.

"Arsenal is definitely a different type of animal from the opponents that Amorim has faced so far. The quality of Arsenal going forward is just amazing and will provide way more trouble than we had against Everton.
