Mikel Arteta has insisted Arsenal will strike gold if they “keep digging” as they start their push to win a first ­Premier League title since 2004 with a trip to Manchester United on Sunday.

In May, Arsenal completed a run of finishing second in three ­successive Premier League ­campaigns – ­matching the club’s record from 1998-99 to 2000-01, before ­winning the title in 2001-02. They have spent almost £200m on players this ­summer. ­Viktor Gyökeres is expected to lead the line against United and the midfielder Martín Zubimendi is also likely to make his debut.
