Stuart MacFarlane has been a lifelong Gunners fan and has been instrumental as the side's staff photographer full-time since 2001.

Talking to the side ahead of the game, he said: "It’s tough. This is my club. I f**king love this football club. I f**king love all of you. In 30 years, I’ve photographed some unbelievable players, world-class players, and some great teams. He also added: I look at you a lot. This is a great team. I’ve been a fan all my life. This is what we have to do."
"We have to go out and win. This is me, I’m a fan, this lot outside, they would do anything to f*cking win today. Look at them, first f*cking tackle - listen to the crowd. They will be on you straight away. Win every tackle. When you score, you look at their faces, look at their emotion, and look at how much they love you. And show them how much you love them. Okay?”
