Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur: Mikel Arteta reacts to 2-1 loss
Arsenal outcast Mesut Ozil has fired a message to Mikel Arteta over social media ahead of tonight's game against Liverpool. Ozil hasn't had a kick for the first-team since the Premier League restart, and isn't expected to be involved tonight. Ozil has completely fallen out of favour under Arteta, and doesn't appear to have a future at the club.

The 31-year-old's contract will expire in the summer of 2021, and it appears he won't be offered an extension.
But Ozil himself sent a message to Arteta on Tuesday, as he took to social media to declare himself available for the trip to Anfield.
He posted: "I A M R E A D Y #M1Ö #YaGunnersYa #teamtraining." on Tuesday evening after Arteta had discussed the German's chances of making the team tonight.
Speaking at his press conference, the Gunners coach appeared reluctant to get into any speculation over his selection policy.

He has apparently told friends that he plans on moving to either Turkey or America to move on a free transfer.
Reports suggest he is willing to sit out the remainder of his current deal before leaving as a free agent.
And Arteta refused to discuss the potential of the 31-year-old being offered a new deal, indicating that nothing has changed.
He added: "With Mesut the situation is still the same as it was."
