Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has warned Premier League rivals that his players are out for “revenge” after dropping points in their last two fixtures. The Gunners sit four points clear at the top of the table as they fight Manchester City for the Premier League title this season.
City will have two games in hand on the north London outfit when the two sides face each other in a crucial showdown at the Etihad Stadium next Wednesday. Pep Guardiola's side are in FA Cup semi-final action this weekend, whilst Arsenal can move seven points clear with a win against Southampton in the Premier League this evening.
The Gunners have dropped points in their last two games against Liverpool and West Ham, throwing away a 2-0 lead in each fixture. That has seen City become favourites to win the title, but Arteta is convinced that his players will react strongly against the Saints after losing a key advantage in recent weeks.
