Mikel Arteta says Arsenal are nowhere near their peak and that he has still not implemented all of the ideas he hopes will turn them into a long-term force at the top.

Arsenal must beat Brighton at home on Sunday to keep the heat on the leaders Manchester City, who are a point clear in first place and have played one game fewer. City will have faced a rejuvenated Everton by the time Arteta’s players walk out at the Emirates, potentially enlivening the title race if points have been dropped, but Arteta believes his team have a long way to go however the next fortnight pans out.
