Mikel Arteta gives blunt response when asked about Arsenal's stuttering title bid

Arsenal are not happy to settle for second place and still consider themselves in the race to win the Premier League title, according to Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners have stumbled in recent weeks, taking just three points from a possible 12 to surrender the advantage to Manchester City. Arteta’s side threw away two-goal leads to draw with Liverpool and West Ham before being held by Southampton and being thrashed 4-1 by City.

Having been 11 points adrift at one stage, City are now one ahead with a game in hand following their 2-1 win over Fulham on Sunday afternoon. Despite their fate not being in their hands, Arteta is adamant that Arsenal will not give up on their dream ahead of a home match against Chelsea on Tuesday night.
