Mikel Arteta appears to be reluctant to replicate his successful strategy with Arsenal, says Darren Bent (Getty)Darren Bent has accused Mikel Arteta of being ‘arrogant’ with his team selections after Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Chelsea. But Bent believes Arteta made a mistake in picking both Saka and Gabriel Martinelli for the game against Chelsea due to the injury concerns surrounding the two wingers. ‘There have been times where I think Arteta has been a little bit arrogant in the way he’s picked his teams,’ Bent told Premier League Productions. But for whatever reason Mikel Arteta doesn’t want to play that three, okay, that’s fair enough. ‘Now I’m not saying he’s an arrogant manager but there are certain decisions where I go, ‘is he doing that to prove he’s right?’.
