Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has been told he has made a mistake that the former Manchester United manager wouldn't have during a Premier League title race. It comes after the Gunners registered back-to-back draws against Liverpool and West Ham, with the latter coming as a huge blow to the side's title chances.
The gap at the top has now been cut from eight points to just four, with Manchester City now hot on their heals heading into the final few weeks. The north London outfit have a chance to extend the lead again this Friday though as they play Southampton while their rivals face cup action instead.
"What we can say is that our players have full faith in what they do," Arteta responded when asked about people writing his side off. "We know that what is at stake is incredibly beautiful. The best way to do it is to continue to do what we want to do every single day. Tomorrow, play really well, play with our crowd, create an incredible atmosphere and win that game."
