Mikel Arteta has already revealed his stance on Arsenal's recent defensive performances amid concern and criticism from Gary Neville after Saturday's 3-2 home win over Bournemouth.
The former Manchester United ace has explained how Arsenal need to stop conceding goals if they are to stand any chance of lifting their first Premier League title for 19 years with Manchester City breathing down their necks.
The Gunners have taken just about everyone by surprise with their form this term and after 26 games played, Arteta's men sit top of the league while boasting a five-point advantage over nearest challengers City.
