Arsenal Have The OPPORTUNITY To Champion The Premier League, Arteta: We Must Be Ready With Unprecedented Challenges

JAKARTA - Arsenal have the opportunity to become Premier League champions this season. The Gunners are currently still perched at the top of the standings with 37 points, the result of 12 wins and one draw.

It was this opportunity that Mikel Arteta tried to take with his troops. The Spaniard felt his team could develop because they wanted to keep their title dream on the right track.

However, the alert status remains echoed. He warned his team to prepare for an unprecedented challenge before the World Cup break.

"We have all the red lights and alarms," he told Sky Sports. "What will happen in the second half of the season is something unprecedented, and we have to be prepared for that."

"(But) there is joy. We have to be excited. We have to embrace the opportunities we have in front of us, understand that we have to do much better," he continued.

After a long break due to the grand tournament in Qatar, the Arsenal players will return to action against West Ham on Boxing Day.

The Gunners are currently five points clear at the top of the table, having won almost all previous games in the Premier League. Of the 14 matches, only two escaped from their grasp.

This result raises them as unexpected competitors.

"I want the team to play in a certain way, and the more consistent we do, the more we will win. We have the belief that we are on the right track," concluded Arteta.
