Mikel Arteta has said Arsenal are relying on Raheem Sterling to make a contribution to their title challenge and is hoping the former England forward can improve on his disappointing form since joining on loan from Chelsea.
Sterling started only his fourth Premier League game of the season against Leicester last weekend before being replaced by the stand-in striker Mikel Merino, who scored twice. Arteta must decide whether to start the Spain midfielder in attack against West Ham on Saturday or stick with Sterling as Arsenal attempt to cut Liverpool’s lead to five points.
