Football: Arteta praises Xhaka’s ‘last few months’ ahead PL match against West Brom

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta defended Granit Xhaka's personality despite media criticism towards the 28-years-old midfielder. The 'Gunners' defeated Chelsea (3-1) and Brighton (0-1) to win back-to-back matches in the Premier League boosting the confidence of the team. Now they are set to face West Brom, which have not won in their last five consecutive matches with three defeats and two draws. Last season, Arsenal and West Brom drew 1-1 when they played at The Hawthorns.
