Mikel Arteta admitted he will have to erase any doubts that lie in his players’ minds if Arsenal are to get their flagging title campaign back on track over the final six games.
A surprise 3-3 home draw against Southampton means Arsenal moved five points ahead of Manchester City but their rivals now have two games in hand. City also host Arteta’s side at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday and Arsenal, who have now taken three points from as many games, appear to have lost their grip at the wrong time. They have conceded a string of sloppy goals and Arteta said his task is to ensure spirits remain high.
