NBC Sports pundit Tim Howard thinks Mikel Arteta has to continue to be himself after his Arsenal side's 3-1 defeat to Manchester City in midweek.
City gained ground on the Gunners after Wednesday's 3-1 win at the Emirates Stadium thanks to goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland. Bukayo Saka had equalised from the penalty spot after De Bruyne had put City ahead but Grealish and Haaland bagged in the second half to secure Pep Guardiola's side all three points.
City are now top of the table on goal difference with Arsenal returning to action when they play Aston Villa on Saturday. City, meanwhile, head to Nottingham Forest on Saturday as they bid to continue their revival.
