Atletico Madrid boss Simeone returns to the dugout at the Emirates tonight after serving a one-match ban for a bust-up with fans during his team's defeat at Liverpool in September.

Arteta (top) says he is full of admiration for fiery Simeone and can understand why his rival boss lost his temper at Anfield admitting he has made similar mistakes in the past, serving touchline bans for the past two seasons.
