Mikel Arteta believes the wider football fanbase want his Arsenal side to pip Manchester City to the Premier League title.
Gunners boss Arteta is locked in a race with former mentor Pep Guardiola. The North London side had been top of the table before a draw against Brentford and Wednesday's 3-1 defeat at home to City saw them drop into second.
Top spot can change hands twice more on Saturday afternoon, with Arsenal facing Aston Villa at lunchtime before City travel to Nottingham Forest - albeit the Gunners will retain their game in hand. And in what is set to be a thrilling race, Arteta believes his side are the fan favourites.
