Mikel Arteta has urged Arsenal to “embrace the moment” when they face Manchester City in a critical showdown that could define this season’s title race and believes his players have learned from last season’s thrashing at the Etihad.
Arsenal have a one-point advantage over Pep Guardiola’s side in third and lead second-placed Liverpool on goal difference with just 10 matches remaining. Sunday’s meeting comes 11 months after Arteta’s side lost 4-1 at the Etihad as City went on to secure a third successive Premier League title despite trailing Arsenal for most of the season.
