By doing so, Arteta aims to enhance his team's focus and concentration, essential qualities for a successful title challenge.
The idea is that if players can remain vigilant in a social setting, they'll be better equipped to stay focused on the pitch, where split-second lapses in attention can prove costly.
As Arsenal seek to dethrone Manchester City and claim their first league title in 21 years, Arteta's unconventional method may prove a masterstroke.
