Arsenal's German trio Per Mertesacker, Lukas Podolski and Mesut Ozil have revealed that they sometimes go against manager Arsene Wenger's dietary restrictions.

Defender Mertesacker and his attacking teammate Podolski joked that they have to eat their desired meals behind closed doors after being asked about the German chef in Arsenal's ranks.

The pair told BT Sport for its coverage of tomorrow's clash between the Gunners and Manchester City, that soup and kebabs are sometimes on the menu.
