Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insists he is only focusing on his own team's results as Newcastle United moved up to second in the Premier League. The Boxing Day win over Leicester saw Newcastle leapfrog Manchester City in the table before the champions face Leeds on Wednesday evening.
Arsenal have a seven-point cushion over Newcastle at present but with the two teams set to face off in the capital next week, a section of the Geordie faithful is starting to believe the top flight title is a possibility in 2023.
Arteta's side have looked good value for their comfortable position at the summit and the Spaniard says he won't be looking over his shoulder at how other sides fare in the coming weeks. “What I tell the players is we have to focus on us," he said after Arsenal's 3-1 win over West Ham this week.
