“We know the quality of Arsenal,” Toure told reporters. “They’ve a really strong squad, a fantastic manager.
“But it is all down to us. We have the best manager in the world, he is doing an incredible job every day.
“We just focus on what we can do, really not on what Arsenal are doing. Every game is like a final for us.”
